RE: VNC viewer for Chrome OS?

Thanks, Marc.  That's a helpful tip.  With Chrome/Android becoming very 
popular on tablets and smart phones, it makes sense to have a nice 
solution for that platform.  I think Java would work well-enough for me, 
even if it is slow.  I would avoid using VNC on my little devices, but 
would hugely value having the option available in a crunch.
