Not couldn't get one, but Can't get one.

It's not over just yet.

You know what they say "It's not over until she gets a retraining order! :laugh:

[Paul Paliath]

I had a dream about the Cr-48... then shortly after, I got one.

:p

:p

I had a dream about getting the CR-48 and playing around with it, but I still don't have one :(

[Tanshin]

I had a dream UPS pulled up out front, and got excited, but then realized it was ad ream and in my dream said dammit!

:D not even joking ha.

but its weird cuz i dont even really care about this netbook nor do i even really want one :p just funny.

I think that counts a a lucid dream.

So yeah, now we're not just dreaming... we're lucid dreaming about them! STOP MESSING WITH OUR UNCONSCIOUS (or would this be Frued's The Unconscious?) GOOGLE!

strange so now after days of being delayed as the tracker stated it now shows

Destination Weight Shipped Delivered Service

MOLALLA, OR 97038 6.00 lbs 12/15 n/a Ground

and when ya hover over the NA it says UPs has not received package or something weird

[Tanshin]

By the way, according to the tracker (and by trying it on the Pilot Page), the signup period has been extended. Good news?

[Tanshin]

Apparently I can't edit my posts after this forum upgrade... that's annoying.

Finally got to watching that Will It Blend? episode. That's probably one of the most violent ones I've seen in a while. Too bad he didn't say "Unstable Isotope Dust - Don't ever want to breath this!"

[Dinggus]

Apparently I can't edit my posts after this forum upgrade... that's annoying.

I believe it was like that before the forum upgrade. I think there's a certain amount of time you have before you can't edit posts anymore.

[Tanshin]

Before the upgrade I was able to edit posts unlimited (or so I think... or at least I had more time than I do now). Oh well, I guess we can blame that if there's a double post or something.

Do you think Google is going to stop the shipments?

Not sure yet, there are rumors about more going out next week. So I will be keeping an eye on it Monday/Tuesday and see what happens.

If this looks like it is dead, we will just unsticky the topic.

[Tanshin]

We'll have to see because they have not closed the application form yet so... who knows what could come of it.

[Tanshin]

I've actually been going full blast with Google products recently. I've changed my site over to Google Apps from the host's services, Google Docs has been indispensable for group projects, Google Voice was a savior for my activities these past few months (I can't imagine the phone bill without it). I'm using Chrome more and more too.

Their apps really grow on you and I can't ignore how useful this notebook would be. It's a shame that it isn't working out anymore.

[nycmattw]

It seems now that the # of packages in transit are becoming lower and lower. But there has still not been an increase in packages shipped.

Google could easily be sending 15,000 laptops in test groups of 4, since there is a rumored 60,000, this would make sense. It also equals just about where we are at now in far as what we think have been sent out, just a little over 15k.

This could easily be wrong though, no one really knows for sure what is going on. For all we know they could start resuming shipping yesterday/this week or very soon if more will be sent out without there being a waiting period to hear back on the feedback from the first 15,000.

[xendrome]

Directly from a source at google:

Google has been mostly shutdown for the past week and a half, so no shipments

have gone out. and probably will not start till next week, and due to the backlog

may take a while to get orders processed..

[unFolded]

Directly from a source at google:

xendrome: You've put Hope back on life support. Thank you!

[Tanshin]

Ah, that's good to hear. I got worried when I started to read it; I thought the Cr-48 mission was shut down :p

[beanboy89]

So it's possible that if I sent a request for one back in mid December it still may be on its way?

[XX55XX]

I filled out in a form way back in December. Is there hope that I might get one?

[Aravind]

Thats good to hear. I am worried about multiple entries. I had submitted my entry long time back but haven't received one yet :( And I checked the tracker app and saw that packages were shipped to 68104 and 68105 (ZIP codes). My ZIP is 68106 :( OMGWTF

[xendrome]

Re-pinned this topic, due to this - http://twitter.com/sundarpichai/

He says quote "Yes we will have another batch that will ship out this month. Should be an exciting few months ahead."

That is from Sundar Pichai, the VP of Project Management at Google.

[Tanshin]

Ah, this is all good to hear.

This could be aligning with what we pondered earlier about whether they're going to iron out large bugs first, before sending out new batches. Perhaps some of us weren't deemed "tech-savvy enough" or could fully dedicate our time, so we got pushed to a later and more stable batch to play with.

Here's to hoping!

/me passes around cookies and milk to keep us busy
