Once again I find myself in the position where I’m unable to test this for myself, namely because I’ve had problems getting Snow Leopard to install on any of my netbooks, but some people are reporting success with this. Therefore, with the intention of disseminating information and possibly helping some folks out, allow me to redirect you to Insanely Mac where there’s a forum thread with a patch and some translated instructions. (Scroll down to post 7 for short and sweet instructions.)
If it works for you, let others know!
I hesitated to post anything about this when it originally came out in one of the developer seeds that OS X 10.6.2, the latest update to Snow Leopard, had removed (or intentionally sabotaged unofficial) Atom support. It looked like that was certainly the case, and then a few days later another build had Atom support restored. However, 10.6.2 is officially out today and the various sites are reporting that Atom support is in fact gone.
As you well know by now, I’m a fan of a variety of things: netbooks, SFF, iPhone, generally anything small and cool that’s a computer. However, being a site dedicated to all things small computing (see?), I sometimes find myself asking where the line is. To be more precise, at what size is a device no longer “small” and more “normal” in size? Is the 13″ MacBook Pro “normal” because it’s out of the typical netbook size? I don’t know and I don’t care, so here’s my review.
