[CoLoCo] Java on Chrome OS

[Jim Hutchinson]

That's kind of cool actually. I think our district is toying with full
Google apps for mail and calendaring as well but they are also locked in
and rather inflexible. The HS is loving the Chrome OS and is planning to
buy more but IT is holding purchases hostage and pushing MS solutions until
the pilot is done. According to the teachers, however, the verdict is in
and Chrome is a win.

Still would like a java solution since too many education tools rely on it.
