   I was probably exaggerating somewhat, forgetting or leaving   
   out basic unix necessities like 'less' and the like. But   
   then maybe I assumed earlier in this conversation that we   
   were talking about add-ons.   
      
   But I am pretty lean in my computing needs.   
      
   But, then, the Chromebook also takes care of things like   
   graphical browsing, and the playing of audio/video content.   
   I don't need such super badly, but definitely can't use   
   lynx/elinks for banking, for example.
