Howdy!,

A Friend of Mine who lives in the next County has a Acer Chromebook.
He calls (or Email's) me and asks how to do things like:

1. How do I find Windows Games I can Play Online? - Play not Download.
2. How do I find DOS Games I can Play Online?
3. How do I find Linux Games I can Play Online?

He also want to be able to Download Game(s) for Windows (DOS or Linux) and
use a Emulator to Run the Game on the Chromebook.

He knows about WINE being used for UBUNTU but wants me to tell him if
WINE would work for him on the Chromebook.

I told him as far as I know WINE is for Linux

(I know that the Chrome OS "IS" a Linux OS)

so I asked him to look on Google Play Store to see if a Chromebook version
of a WINE type program is available there.

I told him I would try looking at Google Play Store for him to see when I
could find out, so far I haven't found my ROUNDTUIT to do that.

He know I have been playing with computers, (and getting whipped by them)
since 1984 when I bought a C=64, and considers me his 'Tech Person' but I
don't know it all, I just act like I do.

PLUS

I might play a computer game but I'm not a Gamer (He is).

He said he doesn't have any luck finding any Games when he Searches for
them on Google, so I told him about trying to use DuckDuckGo to see if
anything different shows up.

He has, but still can't find what he wants there either.

He told me he also has tried Searching on Yahoo without finding any help.

I sent a URL to a HOWTOGEEK article about putting UBUNTU on a Chromebook.

And told him to be VERY CAREFUL when in the ROOT on his Chromebook,
one slip up and he won't be able to use that computer.

Thanks for any comments.
