	I will watch with interest what Google does on their new computer
software called Chrome.os. They say it will be Open Source and based on
Linux of some sort. They will need to test and judge which software is
best for chrome. I'm not sure if ANY will come from Ubuntu???

	Should they ask me I will support cdrecord.
