“Andromeda” existed a long time before Michael Crichton. She’s a figure from Greek mythology, for cripes’ sake.

So Microsoft and Apple should not be concerned?

Do you trust Google ?

More than I do MS and the PIA in using simple Windows 10 on a Toshiba Laptop versus the ease of using my Chromebook.

I like my android smart 4g lte phone and Acer tablet. I am concerned about some of the apps that appear on the Google store. So, I never put credit card and critical info on my phone or tablet.

My wife’s Android phone sometimes drives my non techie wife up the wall. She just wants to text and receive texts, use Gmail for her friends, family and church activities beyond texting, and to take photos and send them without Android/Google hassle. Then, to ask Google for recipes or to help her find something, So we will be buying her a new Tracfone Iphone for those simple tasks. Can’t beat the low yearly cost.

It’s hard for the industry to make something significantly better if all they do is tweek what’s already out there.

And a galaxy about 10 billion years old or so...

Still, I’ll be interested to try this new OS.

The galaxy may have come before the myth, but its name is straight outta Athens.

I have to say I’m not excited about anything Google has to offer. The only thing I use of theirs is Maps, and that’s only when Mapquest doesn’t work.
