Hi Chris,
Well, you're the second person to talk about google Chrome being a hog,
slowing down a computer.
I got a message from a computer user voicemail group on Philmore
voicemail that I'm a part of, saying that he also talked with someone
who had a terrible experience with google Chrome. He said, "it slowed
down my computer, tremendously."
So, I'm going to forget about google chrome, for now.
