So on that laptop, I can dual boot Windows 7 and [...]

Chromium Browser
So here I go again…another browser change. You will recall I switched to Firefox shortly after that app appeared in the Washington Post, maybe around 2005. I definitely liked what they did, but then the memory bloat began to get to me. I went looking, trying Opera. Opera is a nice browser as well, but [...]
