Google shipping CR-48’s again

                                                            Word is that Google is shipping out more CR-48s.  I would love to get one.  I know everyone wants one. 
  I do not expect to get one but if I was them I would ship one to Jim Howard.
  I been online 24/7 since 1982.  People started logging into my system when people used 300 baud dial up.  I have seen it all and been part of it all and now I would like to try out and report on the Google CR-48.

  If I get one I will let you know.  
  The first day or two when some of the big tech sites got one I read about them.  But I have not heard a word about them since.  I think they sent them to the wrong people.  People like me would be reporting on it daily and telling you how much we hated it or loved it.  The other big review and tech sites got tons of high tech stuff and they must have played with it for 30 minutes and then put it on a shelf someplace.

  I am someone that has used a lot of operating systems over the years starting with DOS.  I loved OS/2.  Never did Apple.
  I have done Linux and am a big fan of Ubuntu.
  Everyone knows I am a minimalist guy.  I think Google Chrome OS was made for me.  If I get a CR-48 I will let you know here and on YouTube.

Hey Jim, thought you might be interested in this. Google announced that they are partnering with LucidChart (an online flowchart/diagram app) to give away 100 Cr-48s.

The unique part is that LucidChart is running a skill contest to pick the recipients, rather than a random drawing or application process. You can find all the details here: http://www.lucidchart.com/pages/chrome_notebook
