August, I got interested in reading that link about the Chrome Browser being
attacked since that program is on the main screen of this phone.

Didn't know that Chrome was a Browser, I thought it was a Operating System such
as DOS or Windows or Linux.
I looked at Chrome a bit trying to see if there was a Word Processor or
Spreadsheet available for my use.
Never found what I looked for though.

Thanks again for posting the link.
