Judging by the look of ports on its left, I'd conclude that it *IS* a Mac.
However, Macs will run WEENDOZE but why the fuck anyone would is beyond my
powers of human comprehension.

I took notice yesterday while out and about that there are some of these
small NetBooks now being sold with Linux!  The ASUS Eee PC was one I saw
in my travels.  I liked it too as there was no evil M$ WEENDOZE swastika
on its keyboard. :)  The small floor sample was only a mockup.  I wasn't
able to discern which distribution of Linux was installed.
