Yeah, I'm more worried about some random GoogleFlag locking me out of my account than anything else. That being said, unlike most of the public I know a couple of Googlers personally, but it's a shame that I'd even need to be

Thankfully I do! Ordered one, it's coming today. Since I have TotalTech if I completely hate it I've got something like two months to give up on it. I don't game so if I can pull it off I can leave my XPS at home; we'll

I have it available, but GitBash seems to work better with my workflow. BTW, when I checked to see how to donate, apparently my client pays for it; I thought it was OOS.
