Do note that this computer has no programs on it, only web. So when answering the questions they would like to see that you use the web a lot.

i applied and when i was done, it didn't say anything like "thank you for applying" it just went back to the first page. is this normal, or does that mean that it didn't go thru?

dont think so. when did you apply? if they ship overnight, and ship it the next day, that means i wont get it till earliest tomorrow (tues)...

but yes, i havent heard of people getting it later than overnight shipping.

i know of someone who got his using this application instead https://services.google.com/fb/forms/cr48basic/

and also i fyou look at that tracking site looks like none were sihpped since friday...
