Years ago, I used my first Chromebook for taking on vacations abroad. It was functional, but limited. I replaced it with a cheap HP Stream 14 laptop, converted to Linux Mint - that was so much better!

The current Chromebook prices are crazy!

My favorite Chromebook just ballooned to $999, and that’s a big problem

For about a year now, I have been unapologetically calling the Lenovo Chromebook Plus 14 the best Chromebook ever made.

We'll be performing a reboot of all our servers this evening.

I wasn't aware of any DDoS on Ubuntu until my Linux Mint desktop computer wanted to update today. I then booted up my laptop to discover the same problem there. Maybe I should try a different 'flavor' on Linux on one of my machines?

Falco, was better known (certainly in the English-speaking world) for 'Rock Me Amadeus'.

But I prefer listening to his song 'Macho Macho', especially the way that the music tracks are layered at the beginning, to produce an excellent groove!

So, a conservative estimate of at least another 50 or so cars wanting somewhere to park, and they say 18 parking spaces are planned.

That area is already suffering a severe lack of parking spaces! 🙄

I've had a re-think and I'm currently testing an account with Mailo.

I created a new calendar and imported my Google Calendar - then I did a search for the series of events that Zoho couldn't find and . . .

Another bonus is, it was so easy to add both the emails and calendars to my desktop and phone.

Mailo looks promising so far!
