Chromebooks use Applications rather than programs. You won't need to buy programs. Apps are not necessary but they are inexpensive or free. There is a free online version of Microsoft Office, but you can also use Google based apps that are free also. I've used Office and then converted them to GoogleDocs. The main thing to remember is these are not computers, but neither are tablets. They are mostly internet devices. They are a little bit of a pain to use if your email isn't gmail, but you can use an app for your email and then check your email that way.

Thanks for all that great info. So if you download something using an app, you download it to the cloud and save it there, download it to your actual laptop or - or tablet? - if you need to keep a copy as a document or wave or MP3 file for use when not online? Sorry to ask so many questions but getting all this done while I can be online. Tomorrow and maybe Monday will likely have to take it easy and prob. can't do anymore laptop "heavy" lifting for a while. Neck is not too happy with me right now. Nerve root or two are so inflamed and irritated right now. Obviously too much lounging time these last few weeks and this for a neck that never did much lounging around in all its days until lately.
