MSI-Wind

So I bought a MSI-Wind netbook which is 10" and wasn't really thrilled about the XP OS on it. I had talked to my friend and he said he bought one off ebay that can boot Mac's Leopard. I found a youtube vid detailing how to do it, and after purchasing an external dvd drive and spending an hour downloading the OS10 .iso file, I got it working! This is great! Its like a $300 macbook nano!

dell was selling their netbook for $200 this past monday. was so tempted to get one. i would install ubuntu linux instead since those netbooks aren't too powerful.

the msi tho is 1.6 ghz and i upgraded the ram to 2gb... 160 gb hd... so far so good with the leopard OS. just loaded ms office on it too.

what exactly did you buy? the computer and an external dvd drive and just followed the directions? haha good job.

yup! the msi-wind was $349 at the time, $13 for the extra gig of ram from microcenter, and $70 for the external drive (which i can return, but will probably keep)... there's a couple things not working but i just need to do little fixes... its a black macbook nano!
