I wonder if an Eee-like machine could be built around an ARM chip, to give
even longer battery life while offering a full desktop OS. Nobody has
risked it up to now because they had to offer the option of running
Dimdows, if only as a fallback. But the success of the Eee and its
competitors shows that there's money to be made even if you only offer
Linux. So will someone give it a try?

Otherwise your induced coma awaits me .
