The Asus eee 1000HE and 1005HA can be added (with Wifi and Ethernet not working), the Dell mini 10v can be added and many others.

The above Asus models are probably the best netbooks out there when you consider speed, battery life and screen qualities.

The battery life for the “HA” is amazing and the screen is beautiful.

Hmmmm, looks like I am going to have to read the EULA. I thought that buying a copy from Mac paid them for their software.

One thing to keep in mind is that a EULA that is required to agree to after the fact or purchasing is a little dubious on its own.

If you had to sign it before they took your $ then it would be unquestionably legal for them to have their EULA but since they take your $ first, their EULA will not necessarily hold up in court.

In other countries it simply does not.

If this were black and white then I would not be willing to do it but since they took my $ when I paid for the software I feel that as long as I only install it on one computer then I have paid them for their software.

I can live with that and I believe that legally Mac has to as well.
