No luck here, I tried it a couple times but ended up giving up. I got past
the welcome screen after a while but not much further. I never tried it on
the linux machine, having more trouble than it's worth figuring linux out so
that one just sits in the corner collecting dust and cat hair. I wouldn't
know how to get chirp on it if I wanted to.
