So..... I left town on the 14th of June, put 1400 miles on the car, got
home on the 21st.... and have been playing catch up ever since....
finally getting to these messages.... :)

 NB>> like installing emacs and other useful things...

 MK> Good luck with that.  I've heard rumours about emacs on chromebooks
 MK> but have never seen evidence, up to including finding a link to a
 MK> valid site where it could be obtained.  Just rumours, not even a
 MK> screenshot.  I have serious doubts. 

Don't need screenshots... just need to try installing and see what
happens... <G>

 NB>> Not likely that we'd be searching it out otherwise

 MK> Understood.  Like I say above, nothing but rumours with no to
 MK> extremely little evidence to back it up.  I am guessing it would take
 MK> a mess of hacking to get anything decent running ... not unlike what I
 MK> did on this raspi thingy I am calling aarch64-raspi3b+-linux-gnu.  No
 MK> emacs though but I think I could probably pull it off if it meant
 MK> anything.  For sure there is vi.  :-) 
 MK> Maube if/when I get bored I'll check it out and see if I can get a 64
 MK> bit ARM version of emacs working on this little guy. 

And I see that apparently you got bored soon after... that, or
curious.... ;)
