Gentlemen,
and indeed you are.
What a great discussion. Not 1 mention of haters or other such spiteful terms.
Instead a sensible argument on merits, on desires, on experience.
I am going to get a chromebook, but I have never been an early adopter. It goes to my main business sense which is supplying very reliable control systems for processes and production. I want the equipment to be shaken out, to be proven. Only if directed to do so despite my cautions, will I put in the very latest, and then a note will be made in the proposal and contract.
But in the next 1 to 3 years, I will get a chromebook. It will not replace my company Windows machine. It will not replace several other personal machines that are running well. It will replace a net-book that didn't work out. In time I think that it may replace one or more of the personal Windows machines as I proof out my first test model.
As for bicycles and autos, I have both. I also have horses, and for 3 to 4 years I owned first a ultralight craft, and then a 4 seater plane, and it was fun, but I got that out of my system. I have canoes, rubber and other. I have river and ocean kayaks. I have owed power boats, both fishing and recreation for lake, waterways and ocean. I even still have a small sailboat.
Some of these types of fun items are very expensive, and I have settled on my wife's horses as my one whimsical and very expensive transportation system.
Her argument was very impressive!
