Backstory

Our ^ notebook

Bob here with some background on how I got an email link from my sister talking about the Chrome notebook "Test Drive" program.  I signed up, and in response to the " Why do you want to test drive..." I talked about Ezra needing to build up his computer skills and how he has been using Google Docs for school projects.  That application was entered around the middle of December 2010.  Fast forward to yesterday (Tuesday, Feb 01, 2011) and a box mysteriously appears at our door.

Here's a link to go to the Chrome OS Home page, where you can apply for the Test Drive.

Ezra will keep you posted on how this notebook computer performs in our house (I hope it's ruggedized).  We took pictures of the unboxing which ended in tragedy when Ezra got a paper cut on some of the well written, fun-to-read documentation.  Pictures will be added as we get them.

It's (he'll have to name it) plugged in, charged up and waiting...

P.S. Here's a snippet from that page:
