I'm amazed by this. I started using an EeePC 901 a few months ago, and it barely runs Firefox. I don't know if that says more about the computer than it does about Firefox, but I had no idea such a thing was even possible.

It's quite some time ago now! I don't think I even have mine any more...
I guess Snow-Leopard was pretty lightweight compared to what we have now. IIRC I also modded the machine a bit with a 64GB aftermarket storage card. Maybe doubled the RAM too.
Eventually I think the aftermarket storage card died, and I went back to debian/XFCE, then to debian/LXDE, in an effort to try to keep it both current and usable, with chromium for a browser as FF was too heavy.
Pleased to hear someone has one still up and running :)
