Re: [Chandler-dev] Chandler and Sugar

I am not a developer on the project but I've been using Chandler daily
for a couple of years now and I also own an XO-1 laptop. Based on my
experience with the app and the laptop, I don't think they would be a
good match right now. XO just doesn't have the CPU power or memory to
run Chandler.
