Google’s new Chrome OS will use web apps exclusively. Here is a continuation of my favorite FREE web apps.

Grammar Checker

I could have learned grammar when I was younger, but I was lazy. I may not have learned grammar, but I did find Whitesmoke’s Free Online Grammar Checker to identify and correct my grammatical blunders.

Jotti’s Malware Scan

I have used Jotti’s online scan for years. There are times when I have wanted to test a file I downloaded from the internet. Jotti scans have helped me to avoid opening tainted Windows files.

Things PowerBook & Leopard I Love:

It does work, and work very well. There is a learning curve, but it’s not hard.

A good Leopard book will decrease the learning curve like Keith Underdahl’s MacOSX Leopard Just the Steps For Dummies, Hoboken, NJ, Wiley Publishing, 2007.

I feared that the 13” display would be too small, it’s not for my eyes; it’s bright and the colors are vivid. I still prefer a 15″ display though.

Mac Mysteries

Needing to learn how to use the PowerBook included reading a couple of books. I didn’t have to, it’s not that hard, but I wanted to immerse myself in the new world of Leopard.

If I was going to use the PowerBook I needed software. While Leopard comes with quite a nice collection of software, I knew what I liked and how I wanted my computer to serve me.
