A packaged web app, that would run offline on the Chromebook, would be great. I've got the Samsung ARM one, had it since January, and I'm astonished that it's become my primary device. I rarely turn on my i7 Windows 7 machine now.

You still need a Windows, Mac or Linux machine around to tackle the things that ChromeOS doesn't handle, and GCA would be a good example, but as a light, capable, cheap, and above all totally silent laptop the Samsung ARM Chromebook is stunning.

Hmm. If someone were to write a web app GURPS character generator, would that someone be allowed to use the GCA data files to support it? Would it be legal? How would Armin, Eric and all who contribute feel about that?
