    You can load windows 95 or 98 onto that netbook, but it is very slow, and takes about half an hour just to get to the desktop...and struggles to run solitaire. Plus, it is a massive pain in the *** to get windows installed & running, and drivers are not available.

    You should be looking for something with an Atom processor. You don't need a nice video device for TA; so no need for an expensive netbook.
