Re: Using NetBSD on a z50

...and the price.  You can get a z50 with 4 gig card for less than the tax
you'll have to pay on the Air. ;)

Actually, the Air coming out was the main reason I pushed through and
finally got NetBSD on the z50.

In December, I was torn between getting an iPod Touch, or waiting till
January and putting that money towards the rumored Apple subnotebook.   I
got the 16 gig touch.  Then when the Air was announced, at first i was
bummed that I had made the wrong decision, but then reailzed that A) It
doesn't quite suit my needs B) is way expensive C) is thin, not small and D)
could build exactly what I need with the z50 and about $50 in "stuff".

I'm Very happy now with both the Touch and the z50.  :D
