Ah, right, I forgot that you recently changed jobs. :)

You don't know anything about ChromeOS, do you?  I'm trying to play with 
it on a Dell laptop (using the hexxeh builds) and looking for some 
troubleshooting.  It's locked down to a point of not really being able to 
"fix" it, at least not when I boot from the flash drive.

Just playing with it mostly to see if I can get the Netflix streaming 
plugin to actually work, since it's supposed to with ChromeOS but not 
with just Chrome on Linux (which seems silly, but I don't blame Google 
for that, I blame MPAA and IFPI for that restriction).
