As I've got time on my hands now I'm redundant I'm hoping to help out by volunteering at the local library. I thought I better come down and have a look at the computers to find out what I was looking into helping with and realised that the computer I am using is Chrome OS.

I have a white wireless Trust keyboard/mouse set which was bought for Orac Mac and although it was supposed to be Mac-ish it transfered to Martouf when he took over duty as the desk computer. It's more laptop keyboard-type than desktop-keyboard type and garienos doesn' ( Read more... )
