> I have no experience with Chromebooks.

I am willing to send you $100 in cash, if you wish, if you buy a
Chromebook, and if you send me a postal address to which to send the $100.
In Austin, I had good luck with 'Best Buy'.
I am laughing at this!  I wonder if it has ever happened before that a user
has offered to buy a bug reporting service a computer.  Chromebooks can
cost a lot of money, for which one no doubt gets a lot.  But  I bought the
cheapest I could possibly find in order to help make ACL2 available to all
students in the world, who are mainly using Chromebooks.  I have put up on
my working directory

  https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1UoCT8YaisJBE-deMYJ8n1VE1rNg6K_MW

under ./acl2 the acl2 source, coded by J Moore and Matt Kaufmann, and 16
gigabytes of proofs that ACL2 generates.  Many folks have contributed the
theorems.

Thanks so much.  I very, very much want to get RMAIL working on my
Chromebook.

Tell me what to try next.

Bob

Anything I seem to state should be taken as a question.  I am at least 77
and feeble.
