<div class="moz-cite-prefix">I can't speak to the limitation of the
online-only apps (personally, I detest Google docs), but I can say
that you don't necessarily have to abandon reservation software.
ChromeOS is a Linux distribution, and Libki (

<a href="http://libki.org/">http://libki.org/</a>) is a PC
reservation application that's compatible with Linux. It may take
a bit of work, but I'd imagine that it could also work on
ChromeOS. Since the OS primarily runs through a web browser, you
might also check the Chrome Web Store to see if they have any
apps/extensions for public-oriented computers. We use Firefox on
our Linux-based public computers, and there's have a handy
extension called Public Fox (

for instance. Chrome may have something similar.<br>

<pre wrap="">2. I've been reading about Chromebooks, especially in California where the state library did a $500,000+ grant and put thousands of Chromebooks out in libraries (10 to 50 per library) and they are actually letting people check them out to use at home for a week. I'm looking more at using them within the library and again the whole reservation issue is huge as I will not go back to a sign up sheet after enjoying the automation of PC Reservation for years <span class="moz-smiley-s3" title=";-)"><span>;-)</span></span> How does it work with the limitation of apps and googledocs?</pre>
