[CQ-Contest] Asus Eee PC or OLPC XO For Contesting?

[hank k8dd]

It looks like it would be a good laptop.
You would have to get the external DVD/CD-ROM to load XP.
The major limitation might be the 800X480 resolution which would keep you
from using a lot of windows with WriteLog, N1MM, etc.  But it seems like
would be fine for programs like CTWin and maybe TR4W.
