This is a Test Post with IA Writer on Chromebook

In late 2016 or early 2017, Google opened up its Chromebooks to the Google App store, meaning that I could install IA Writer on my Chromebook that I bought in the summer of 2016.

The Chromebook is fine for reading and writing. Obviously, it has native support for Google Docs or whatever the service is called now.

I installed a terminal shell app that allows me to SSH into my remote servers for programming.

I used the Chromebook to work remotely last summer when visiting my parents.

I paid 225 dollars for my Asus Chromebook at BestBuy, and I consider it worth it. It travels easy. It's basically a 9.7-inch tablet with a keyboard attached. That means it has a touch-screen too, and the screen can fold back onto the keyboard, which allows it to be used like a tablet.

I use it like a small, lightweight laptop. I use it with an infrared mouse, mostly. It's a neat little machine.
