[Ham-Mac] Wanted, a Netbook running Leopard

[Stephen Prior]

You've certainly unearthed something there David, I'm struggling to keep
my credit card in my wallet!  I wondered how long it would be before other
Mac compatible computers would appear.  They probably don't have quite the
build quality or battery life of the 'real thing', but it's a heck of a
saving.
