And an entry level tower machine too. > Even BMW has an M3 ( for the many here who like car analogies) Legitimizing a port of OSX to PCs would open a can of worms and knock the polish of the Mac image. Apple would rather leave the back door open to those brave souls willing to tame the Hackintosh beast. If you have enough $$ to put together a decent PC, you can have a Hackintosh, as many do. Otherwise, a "real" Mac assures you of success out of the box. Making a software-only Mac would diminish the Brand. Apple products have the reputation they do because they work, and I don't blame Apple for wanting to keep control, which they would lose if they lost control of the hardware. Just my 2 cents. > And sorry about the rich text. So many here post in it I had > forgotten. And in gmail it is easy to switch for different purposes > but easy to forget when one is in a hurry too. I had forgotten too, to be honest. I'm stuck w/Comcast ATM and contextual posting only works using plain text. Besides, it feels like an old shoe. ;^) > But in 2011 is anyone on LEM not capable of reading rich text? It gets down to tradition, and practicality for some, like me. Least common denominator and all that. Whatever works. I'm flexible. ;^) - Peter PS: I think you should figure out a way to Hackintosh to make you happy. Or play the lottery and hope. ;^) Again, just my 2¢. -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
