[Leica] Totally OT: OSX on a tiny laptop?

[mark at whitedogs.co.uk (Mark Pope)]

Nathan,

I fear that a netbook, even with the newer Atom processor may struggle 
to give a good experience with software like Lightroom.  I think CPU 
speed is sacrificed to give a better battery life.  But then given how 
inexpensive things like the Aspire one are, it's probably worth giving 
it a go.
