I have seen all the references/howtos on the net, but curious if anyone who frequents this forum has done the deed, I have netbook lust, but am allergic to windows, and not sure if I want to do a linux box. Let me know, and thanks. |

I haven't, but it does seem pretty sweet. Although, I find it hard to believe that it would run decently on a netbook. OS X on my 800Mhz iMac was pretty crappy. I guess for simple browsing it's probably fine. |

You could just get a MacBook Air, with it already installed.

I know that apple has slashed prices on the MacBook Air, but have they reached sub $400 price yet? |

No, because they include quality in the system instead of the absolute cheapest parts they can find.

tout suite mon ami
How about the cheapest parts with the best OS? That would work... |

Well, people have hacked OS X into working on non-Macs, so it can be done.

Netbooks are garbage, you can get a fully functional laptop for like $100 more. I understand the alliure of them as being cheap and internet ready but is it really worth that extra 100-$200? I don't see it. |
