Default Got my free chrome cr-48 from google today

Didn't actually buy, but got FREE! It showed up on my doorstep. I saw a thread about Google giving away computers to beta test so I signed up and today with no warning it showed up on my doorstep. I didn't even expect it.
the Chrome cr-48. It's google's move into complete cloud based computing.

You have to pay for the 3g. It comes with 200mb/month free for 2 years. Since 99% of my computer usage happens where I have wi-fi the 3g isn't necessary.
