Thanks, Mike.  Yes, it'll thus be a while before Sage runs natively
on that.   But I'm sure it's possible.  I really doubt it will happen
though.  It's more likely people would do an iPhone port first,
given how popular those are, etc., and people haven't lifted
a finger toward an iPhone port yet.

By the way, these little <$400 netbooks, like the Acer Aspire
One (which has a 120GB hard drive, 1GB RAM,
1.6Ghz processor), are very nice for running Sage in a small
package.  That's what I'm doing at this very moment.
