2. I wouldn't worry about lawyers. Why in the world would they come crashing down your door if you successfully ran OSX on a clone? If your copy of OSX is legal, what can they do? Its your machine, and they would have to prove you were using it the moment they entered. Even in paranoid America, thre are other things that are more likely to cause the cops to break down your door in the middle of the night, than having X on a clone.
3. I'm bored with all this legal stuff. I tried to pose a question earlier, but it must have drowned in the white-out from the law-book-page-storm.
So: Once again: If Tiger supposedly only works on Macs with in-built FireWire, what about antiques with FireWire added on a PCI card? Does that count as built-in? Or?

guys,
if i may,
the argument has gone far enough. i'm sure you are both honest enough individuals. me--i must not be that honest since i don't think i'd have a problem installing an non-family pack os x on multiple machines at home--especially if they were unsupported--although i do think the family pack is a good deal. but as i only have one machine, i don't even have to cross that bridge. that fine print doesn't mean much to me. all i know is that one thing you have to agree on is that if your data gets completely destroyed, its never the manufacturer's fault. here at work it's another matter. we go completely by the book and i'm glad we do. i agree about the "spirit of the agreement". and i also agree that nit-picking is what these things are about too. they are written by lawyers who get paid to master nit-picking.
