Dag 1 Paketet med freerunner kommer äntligen. I paketet ligger ett poem av Lao-Tse, och en laserpenna. Jacob och hans kompisar leker terminator med lasern. Freerunner är förinstallerad och bootar direkt in i en tidig version av ASU. Det går att ringa till telefonen, och till min förvåning spelas en gammal sid-låt!. Jag …
