eee vs. one

My little eeePC had been a good companion druing the last month, but I could’t stand XP anymore. I worte all posts of our trip to Norway on it and when I finally found a hotspot to c&p it to my blog, all was gone. It is a fact, that I hate windows and windows hates me. I grew up with my Amigas and compared to windows the structures on AmigaOS were far superior to windows. Amiga is long gone and I switched immediately to Apple whereas the whole world got those Peecees and still rings me up in the middle of the night asking me stupid questions why their computer won’t do this nor that. My default answer should be: Get a mac! But I am too helpful too just say that.

I watched those attempts to get Leopard to run on standard PC hardware for some time and was really amazed when a good friend of mine showed me his hackintosh. There’s a way to run OS X on eee but the FSB is not recognized correctly and every second on the systemc clock is 2.5 seconds in reality… try to watch a movie with this!

So I sold my eee, with a strange feeling of losing a good friend in my stomach and switched to Acer. The all new One 150xl it is and guess what: Leopard runs like a charme. I had to replace the wificard though, as there are no drivers available. Still a few things are not working properly. The most anoying is sleepmode, but I hope that those guys at insanley mac will fix it anytime soon. Right now this is ok, but in general thers’s still nothing better to get than a mac, except you are looking for a computer to twiddle around, but than you can get a pece with xp, as well.

Here are some helpful links for every Aspire One user that is fed up with XP, like me:

Next, I will have to get rid of that windows key! Stay tuned…
