I got mine it pretty cool...

My girl friend opened it and signed in with my stuff as the owner which is cool with me and she took the photo. Turns out after a hour searching for a option to change the picture over various sessions I emailed Google Ninja ChromeOS Support (not joking) and I got a reply in a few hours confirming that I cant change the picture. Of course I replied that its a simple feature , yada yada yada. Not that big of a deal but its a bummer. If you skip the picture setup you can not add a picture later as well.

Rep said it might come later...

Other then that its cool as it was free and its serves it purpose well, love the feel over the rubber matte finish everywhere. Need to see later builds of it to pass judgment but the device is interesting.

Thanks for the cool laptop Google!

** EDIT **

In the replay I also asked Google rep if there is a way to reset / remove the owner user.

Well, so far there has only been one shipped to my city (the capital city of my state, no less!), and it was delivered at about the same time I saw this thread and applied for one. I'm hoping to maybe get one in one of the next couple of batches. Two things I've noticed though: 1. there seem to be a LOT of them going to Jacksonville, FL (kept seeing them when searching those pastie pages for my city, Jackson, MS). 2. those lists on pastie chew up a hell of a lot of RAM, they nearly lock up IE on my Dell Mini 10!!

So if I am understanding this right so far out of the 3 batches sent out so far (that have been posted on pastie) only an estimated 6000 netbooks have been sent out, out of the 60,000 that were made in production?

what does ! in front of your city mean?? on the pastie links thing

i.e.

(!) SHREWSBURY, MA, US

not my city just an example

It means that the address had an issue with shipping I guess. Hoping that UPS fixes the issues with that address.

I believe that means that they're getting ready to be shipped out in the next batch

Edit: Nevermind, that only applies to my city, must be a coincidence

That just means that it hasn't been successfully delivered at the time that the list was generated. For example, if it hasn't been shipped, if it's enroute, or if there was a delivery exception (e.g. address doesn't exist), there will be a (!).

Trying to get one using all possible sorts of combinations, filling in BELGIUM (EUROPE) in state et cetera :p It worked with Microsoft before, actually received stuff that was meant to be US only, now let's hope Google doesn't manually check these ^^

    • Still using Classic Outlook? Microsoft highlights 15 reasons to switch to New Outlook

      Any decent ITSM will A) have a web form that allows a user to raise a ticket, if you're writing an email you can write a ticket. B) Monitor a mailbox and auto-generate tickets based on inbound mails for those users that really can't get their heads around the concept that if you have an issue you go to support.mycompany.com and fill in the box. From your description you're having users email the desk, and then having a human read each one and manually raise a ticket on behalf of the user.

      Fixing things? Have you ever tried linux? Everything works out of the box nowadays in most common hardware. This includes Wifi and Bluetooth. If anything, if they return back to windows is because they haven't found an equivalent program which often used on windows.
