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…

Yesterday, at our weekly “Herrenabend”, caos brought his brand new Asus eeePC. At first I was thinking “Nahhh.. neat, but it is just another pc” and than I learned about what can all be done with that little thing. At around midnight I hat spend about all emvening in front of that tiny screen and I just wanted to take it with me. So today, after work, I wen straight to my favorite electronic discount and grabbed one.

Actually, I am just typing this post on it, while sitting relaxed on my sofa, hargin my new fellow.

So tonight is hacking night. There are tons of thing to be tested… first of all the other operating systems like Unbuntu, WindowsXP/Vista and Mac OS X (Yesss!!!)

Meanwhile I am back at caos hq and here’s a little impression what’s going on tonight. 4 eees ready to be stripped apart and tested. What can all be done, you ask? Take a look…

Off for some testing and installing.
