Chromebooks, Some Initial Thoughts

Chromebooks, Some Initial Thoughts

Sooooo, I might have taken $264.82 (which, as another attorney generously pointed out, is actually $304) and purchased a Samsung Chromebook. I blame the purchase on my taxes, or advertising. I’m not sure which. I would have normally purchased this from Amazon at $249, but I felt impulsive, so I took my money to Best Buy. I’veContinue Reading

From The Droid Lawyer’s Wish Book

From The Droid Lawyer’s Wish Book

Remember every year when the Sears Wishbook would come to the house? You and your siblings hovered around the catalog, mesmerized by all of the toys and gifts you hoped your parents would get you.   The internet, Amazon, and even Google, removed some of the magic I felt, but, occasionally I get giddy about some “needed”Continue Reading
