MyArt My OS ChromeOS Nikola's is one of my idols!! A man way ahead of his time. He defined the modern world of electronics. Nikola's Letterhead (And How Tesla Won the War of the Currents) [Lifechanger] by Rosa Golijan 12 people liked this - you, and 11 more This was Nikola Tesla's letterhead. It reminded us that along with the often overlooked little things which change our lives, we need the loud, filthy, slaughter-filled battles just as much. Like the dirty War of the Currents. Just in case you're not familiar with the War of Currents—one of my favorite messes in the history of electricity—allow me to catch you up. On one end of it all we had Nikola "Wizard of the West" Tesla, George Westinghouse, and alternating current. On the other hand was Thomas "Dirty Fighter" Edison and direct current. The whole trouble began when the United States were ready to move away from Edison's idea of direct current and try that newfangled AC. Dear ol' Tommy couldn't just sit back and let that happen. So, he did what any man in his right mind would do and started a smear campaign against the new system: [He spread] disinformation on fatal AC accidents, publicly killing animals, and lobbying against the use of AC in state legislatures. Edison directed his technicians, primarily Arthur Kennelly and Harold P. Brown, to preside over several AC-driven killings of animals, primarily stray cats and dogs but also unwanted cattle and horses. Acting on these directives, they were to demonstrate to the press that alternating current was more dangerous than Edison's system of direct current. When that wasn't enough, Edison got a bit more personal: He also tried to popularize the term for being electrocuted as being "Westinghoused". Years after DC had lost the "war of the currents," in 1902, his film crew made a movie of the electrocution with high voltage AC, supervised by Edison employees, of Topsy, a Coney Island circus elephant who had recently killed three men. Considering that we don't refer to someone being shoved into the electric chair as a "Westinghousing," I'd say Tommy didn't do so well. Anyway, we're not here to make fun of killing animals, Tommy's lost war, or to brag about Tesla. The point is that a good idea—alternating current—wasn't taken down by a dirty fight. And that, ladies and gents, is a #lifechanger. Letterhead image from Letterheady. Some information from Wikipedia and the Nikola Tesla Museum

These words lead some where on the web!!!

Chrome OS Flow. I've tried Flow out on two laptops, Toshiba, an Dell, and a eePC netbook.

The biggest draw back is if you don't have a wired connection you won't be able to start the OS, you'll just get the login screen. After you've successfully booted on a wired network it will run on any wireless network nic.
The Toshiba and my Dell laptop Flow ran like a champ, loaded intensive graphic sites with blazing speed.
The eePC had a 8g SSD (Solid State Drive), man you wanna talk FAST!!!! I MEAN WOW FAST!!! Chrome OS Flow is so blindingly fast on netbook with 1g RAM 8g SSD, that means no moving parts. Sites with tons of flash or large graphics, loaded with no or with almost no wait time. Flash games loaded with no wait at all.

If you love to surf the net and you don't download everything you see then a Netbook with solid state drives Chrome OS Flow is the OS for you. It's way simple because it's just a browser. It has all the links to you favorite social media sites. The actual footprint on the drive is about 1.8g... A dream machine for this OS would be 4g RAM, 64g SSD, and at least 1g Vid RAM. Chrome OS on a tablet PC as a collaboration tool and multi-touch screen would be ideal!!!
