I could not pass up the deal I found, so got an eMachines 1G Atom based netbook. After some wrangling around I was able to get
NT7 up and running. Everything seems to work fine. Of course the only catch is dealing with a 10 inch screen, but it is sufficient to work on ind while sitting on the couch and having a single chart up to check things out.
The memory changes in
NT7 seem to really pay off on a restricted platform like this.
