Don Dodge: living on the web
- gvb 16y agoThe first 90% is mostly promotion. The last tidbit is interesting: It has been a little over a year since [Don left] Microsoft and joining Google. In that year [Don has] not once used a desktop application on [his] Macbook Pro. [He is] living on the web, totally through the Chrome web browser. Gmail for email, and Google Docs for spreadsheets, word processing, and presentations. [He] even [uses] the Gmail Chat for IM, Video Chat for video conferencing, and Call Phone to make phone calls through [his] laptop. Of course [his] Android cell phone is used for most calls. [He uses] Picasa and Flickr for photos, Facebook, Buzz, and Twitter for social stuff. [Don] wanted to see what it would be like living totally on the web with no client desktop software. It has been totally fine. This month [Don is] completing the move by giving up [his] Macbook Pro and using the Chrome OS Cr-48 Notebook. Nothing but the Web!
