#cr-48

And before you ask, Yes I will be creating a backup of ChromeOS so that when I get bored of having Linux running on here (yes I know that ChromeOS is Linux based...) I can simply re-install and be back up and running as Google intended.

I legitimately thought that you were getting off at Van Buren so I retreated to another seat, only to awkwardly realize that you weren't leaving the train yet and so I was the guy who got shy when you said "is that that Chromebook? and then mumbled "yeah...it's pretty cool..." and then retreated to the seat across the aisle and the window and then tried to say to you, "Oh I thought you were getting off at that stop" when I wanted to say, "I'm not afraid of you and actually the CR-48 really is like a prototype sometimes but then I remember they sent me a fully functional kinda-revolutionary computer for free but still, I hope that the commercially available chromebooks are much better than this one because honestly living in the cloud sometimes makes you feel like a dbag,'hey can i have your wireless password?' when all you really need to do is check to see when the bus is coming but you don't want to use some of the free monthly 100mb so you have to ask. It's quite nice and loads up faster than my phone but still, I'm glad I paid zero dollars for it, because it's nice to have a computer that you can bang around with and look at us in our safe world where we can spot a CR-48, the most unspottable CIA-looking nondescript computer in the world, because we have time to read tech blogs and blather on about things and call it prose poetry."

When I first received the chromebook, I made a conscientious effort to use it as my main computer.  Guess what?  It's one year later and I still use it everyday and my old Toshiba Qosmio with a dying LCD screen is still up on the closet shelf.
