The Few and the Proud

I am one of the few and the proud that get to beta test the brand new (and up until now secret) Google Chrome Notebooks (a la.... chromebooks)

The Google Chrome Pilot Program

the experience came as a surprise to me and initially i thought that I had accidentally bought something on amazon without even knowing it. wondering what it was throughout the day and all but just the picture of the box to go with, i pondered all day long what it could be. It wasn't until a friendly email from my favorite Mountain View company did i realize what the box finally was: The New ChromeBooks!!!\This netbook is quite an interesting feat. After firing it up (less than 3 seconds to startup) and the all too familiar (and only browser i use now) Google Chrome pops up. Thanks to Google Chrome i'm pretty much used to everything on this browser, hence I am already used to using the chrome book (pretty clever marketing ploy might i add)

and now, after setting everything up, i am now one of the few and the proud that will beta test this little sucker and take it to its very limits at any given time. Blue Screen of Death? Viruses? Isuees? I'm your man, and I will hope to work out all the kinks in this really responsive and simplistic OS and hope for a successful official launch.

Who here remembers when Gmail was in beta for almost 2 years? Welp, here I am again trying something out once again for Google. So far everything is great. Getting used to the controls a bit but nothing wrong software wise, just user wise haha
