You sure? Aren't you underestimating your own know-how? :-)
For a long time I heard Linux lovers claiming their OS had become easy and straightforward... IMHO, that's not true, by a long shot. But they are so much "in love" with their OS, they can't see their own "geekiness" is far from the common user. When I approached the Hackintosh world, years ago, things were difficult and troublesome. I'm not contradicting your position (you know much more than me), I just wonder if you aren't "forgetting" that what you know might not be a given for most people (an error many experts fall for). >> Coming back to "reality"... > > Hackintoshes seem pretty "real" to me. Ok but, again, rocket science is pretty real... but that doesn't mean is accessible to everybody. :-) What I meant was "reality" for the "average Joe" without any particular knowledge, the average user and the things he has in his reach. > Lion and Server Lion, running on a PC with NO modifications whatsoever to > either the PC or to Lion is a reality. Well, I am just glad to know it. :-D If I had not just got my G5, I might be tempted... Any link to get direct access to those possibilities? :-) -- 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.
