CR-48!!!

                 I was trying to watch family guy and take a nap and just relax before i had to be productive. I heard someone on the porch coming to front door. I figured that it was my roommate and i just closed my eyes.  Then someone knocked on the door, I ran and put cloths on. I on the porch was a nice little brown box that ups just dropped off. I was addressed to me, and i haven't ordered anything online. I took the package inside opened it and their was a CR-48 inside just for me. I guess a late Valentines day gift from Google to me, and to which I say thanks and i will use this to the fullest.
                 Initial thoughts. it is very well built and the touch is like the rubberized rhino lining for pick up trucks.  It has a nice solid feel and very compact. the only thing on the device i'm crazy about is the on/off button above the the backspace key (I have hit I already).  But this device is meant for testing the OS and no the hardware. The OS is polished and its nice. its very minimal. not to much going on in the upper tool bar. Opening a new tab is smooth and very quick. Thats it for the first 20 min thoughts new post tomorrow after 1 day with the OS.
