My Cr-48 is in dev mode, so I can send the list whatever logs and config files you want. About the only thing you lose by flipping the dev switch is Netflix. That site checks the switch setting and blocks access to dev mode users. I think they are afraid someone will hack their netflix.so file ;)

I have been using Chromebooks since December 2010, and 2GB is just about right on the memory. The Chrome browser uses a lot of ram :-) I would love to get my hands on this new ARM processor based unit, but I already have 3 Chrome OS devices. It should be fairly easy to experiment with, as each
