Dear Sergey and Larry,
Version 45.0.2454.37 beta-m (64-bit) on Win 8.1 / 64
The last ten days Chrome is frequently "seizing up," refusing to accept keyboard input ... yet, at the same time continuing to respond to mouse actions ... closing, and re-starting, Chrome takes care of that.
Then there's the frequent failures to load pages; interestingly: some of the error pages shown by Chrome have a "Reload Page" button, and others do not ... the ones that do not present what appears to be an old early Mac super-lo-fi-big-pixel crash icon ... nice touch of humor there.
I don't mean to sound like I am not abjectly grateful for this wonderful service that reads my e-mails to figure out things I don't need, and reminds me how frugal I am by presenting advertisements for these things I don't need so I can have the self-affirming experience of rejecting them.
But, well, things are a little tight lately; with Johnny having the shakes and all he can't keep pedaling the electricity generator long enough to keep Mama's respirator going, and little Suzi's guide-dog, Benjamin, got in the pantry and ate some of the amphetamines we been feeding Johnny which ended up with animal-welfare officers coming out here and citing us.
So, Sergey and Larry ... I know you're reading this ... please understand if I seem a little critical it's probably just a side-effect of how things are, and, after all, I do understand that the journey that is the reward of building software that's "insanely great" is going to have some speed-bumps.
Perhaps ... since I'm beta-testing for you ... a free ChromeBook is in order here ?
your suffering fan, Bill

Hahahahahahahaha!
Think yourself lucky that they aren't Micro$oft - you have to pay to be a beta tester there!
I think they call it the Regular Test Marketing version...

I never miss it, I have a great memory for dates.
That is why the Missus and I were out and got so pissed Friday night. No going out on a Monday night as work gets in the way.

Congratulations!
I guess you are going to have to start thinking about what to do for next year - it's going to be a big one!

Depends on how much money I have. Kids are 15 and 18 and cost almost as much as the Mother to run.

Goodonya. Twenty-three for the wife and I yesterday (the fifteenth).
And as for starting the celebration early, the wife and I started Friday night, as we now live three time zones west of where we got married so the fifteenth had already started.

Hi Martin, congratulations to you, and deepest sympathies to She-Who-Must-Be-Obeyed.
If there were any justice in this world, she'd probably get credited with active-duty-in-war-zone back-pay for at least twenty-years.
cheers, Bill
