I don't have a netbook so I prob. won't use it. Besides, I want to play games, type documents, access files, etc. when I don't have Internet access (I don't think you can on COS). I rarely need to reboot my laptop so the startup time isn't much of an issue.

But if I ever find a use for it then I'll definitely give it a spin.

I wonder if they'll upload all your information, nothing too personal, just what you watch, what you click on, and so on.

Sounds great!

"I'd buy THAT for a dollar! HA HA HA!"

If 45 seconds (which is about how long my computer takes to boot up [I don't even boot it up that often, I just put it to sleep and then it's awake in 5 seconds]) is too long for someone to wait, then I've lost all faith in humanity.

Just saying that you yourself have pin-pointed the solution to your worries.

Hey Alex, Ashamed to say I didn't know about this until I accidentally found you here on CC. The demo seems to have been around for a bit, wonder when it will be complete. Hmm? My only concern is that I find Google to be less than an honorable institution... much like Microsoft (grin). Thanks for the info. :)
