CR-48 to hospital for baby delivery

We had a new baby last night. Our third. I brought the cr-48 along for it's portability, quick use, and battery life. My wife brought her full-size laptop as well, but the cr-48 got all the action. Other than now-reported bugs (accounts automatically logging out, trackpad problem, difficulty getting on hospital's wifi), Chrome OS works perfectly for the quick, gotta-get-this-email-out sort of use. Quick login, bootup, and shutdown are perfect for this situation, when you want to communicate online, but can not miss anything in real life, either. An android phone might have been better, but I can't even begin to afford a smartphone.

Developer mode

I put my CR-48 into developer mode earlier this evening.  Why?  To get access to more options in the shell, including root access.  To set up access to the file system.  To change my avatar picture (specifically, to start from scratch, make an avatar pic, and then change it).  These sorts of options should be available without going in to developer mode.
