Thank you.

From CR-48

First I would like to thank Google for choosing me to be a part of their pilot program for Chrome OS. Of course now this means that I need to hold up my end of the bargain... You see, when filling out the form for the pilot program registration, aside from the usual, familiar survey questions, I was asked to state, in 140 characters or less, what would make me a unique (read: worthy) user of one of these sweet prototype Chrome OS Notebooks. So I threw down, and promised to not only provide the requisite feedback and bug reports, but to also use the CR-48 as my ONLY computer. Well, Google called my bluff and now its time for me to buck up and follow through.

But first, some caveats: this will only apply to PERSONAL computer use as my work is extremely specific about what I can and can't do on their work station computers, not to mention the outright ban on personal laptop use in the office. Secondly, I may, on more than one occasion use my Toshiba tablet to finish a design project I am already working on which requires the use of its tablet capabilities and drawing software. Though I may see if I can use some of the apps that are already available for Chrome. We'll see. And Starcraft.

So without further adieu...
