    But did Piggy really make a super cool paper airplane out of it?

      1. The paper’s too thick and badly shaped for airplanery.
      2. Why would I want to bend such a masterpiece out of recognition?

        Mm. Excellent points.
        If Google ever starts designing an AI, I bet they will give it a sense of humor. (So long as we don’t end up with anything like Pintsize…)

    I was just thinking of asking whether anybody else got one.

    Have you put Ubuntu on yet? Stock BIOS, mayhaps?
    I haven’t got to the BIOS yet — I don’t especially want to have to take off the feet to get at the screws. :/

      I’m fine with following the contract, actually.

        Hey, they put a developer switch on for a reason. They expect, and have no trouble with, you putting custom OSes on.

        It’s not like I’ve removed Chrome OS or anything — I still use it as the main OS.

          For my usage, I have no reason to mess around with BIOS or anything. I have Ubuntu on my other laptop, if I want to use Ubuntu. I mean, it’s not like the CR-48 is an incredible collection of hardware. (Which reminds me: what specs does it actually have? I’ve been too lazy to figure it out.)

            I was about to send you a link, but then I remembered that it’s not allowed here. It’s been a while.

            Processor: Intel Atom Processor N455 1.66GHz 512K Cache
            Chipset: Intel CG82NM10 PCH
            Motherboard: Tripod Motherboard MARIO – 6050A240910 – MB – A03
            Ram: Hynix 2GB DDR3 1Rx8 PC3 – 10600S Ram

            Read Only Memory: ITE IT8500E Flash ROM
            SSD Drive: SanDisk sdsa4dh-016G 16GB SATA SSD
            Wireless Wan: Qualcomm Gobi2000 PCI Express Mini Card
            3g Adapter: AzureWave 802.11 a/b/g/n PCI-E Half MiniCard
            Bluetooth: Atheros AR5BBU12 Bluetooth V2.1 EDR

            Obviously there’s no /need/ to put other operations; I did it mainly just because I could. Developer mode is lovely for the use of the shell, though.
            I haven’t bothered to put Windoze on and test games yet; we’ll see how that goes. Should be interesting, once I get my act together to taking off the bottom…

            Out of curiosity, do you know if anybody else on the blog got one?
