why not try this

" The following operating systems were tested and run (to some extent) in PearPC (ie. as clients):

* Mandrake Linux 9.1 for PPC installer: Runs well
* Mandrake Linux 9.1 for PPC after installation: Hard to boot. Runs very well afterwards.
* Darwin for PPC: Runs well
* Mac OS X 10.3: Runs well with some caveats
* OpenBSD for PPC: Crashes while booting (accesses PCI in an unsupported way)
* NetBSD for PPC: Crashes while booting
* AIX for PPC: Some people ask about that. See FAQ.

What kind of moron runs a MacOS emulator over MacOS?

cause it is slow, no drag&drop, no sound, no access to system ports, etc....

@wof : geeks do, lol

do u need to have a version of the Mac OS ?

yeah you do.

and on the MacOSX licence there is a clause stating that it can only be used on apple hardware, lol. It is is just as illegal to buy it.

Its tempting to make the switch...

Now that we have the Mac mini, is this such a great thing anymore?

not everyone has $1300 lying around, lol

i'd rather get an 12' ibook anyway.

The mac mini is only around $720 with educational discount.

My point exactly. And I assume you have the keyboard, mouse and screen already. Note that this price also gets you iLife '05, not a bad deal ....

That is the most basic package.....

Not really enough to use a main computer. Mabye as some thing to store photos and edit movies.

 

[kewpid]

Yeh, but the appropriate upgrades won't cost you an extra $600.

 

[jm1234567890]

Subtotal Prices are inclusive of delivery and GST, where applicable A$ 1,343.00

That is the 1.42Ghz, with 80gig, wireless and 512 megs RAM and dvd burner.

pretty basic configuration if you ask me.....

 

[McLake]

wireless isn't basic, it is not standard in anything (although it should be). But you are right, the chaep model is v basic, however it is a good buy as a 2nd PC if you want MacOSX, and don't need massive HDD and other things since you have other comp.
