1260314 2012-02-21 04:54:00 Are you going "Mac" to exercise the braincells or just got to much money?

Windows 8 Consumer Preview comes out in a few days which will provide just as much entertainment for the braincells

Sick of endless problems,at moment when in sleep it won't wake up, such things are endless.

Loved Outlook Express, can't stand live mail.

The buggers seem to think the more they put in that you don't need the better.

like the rest of us on here I poo poo Apple, but I notice all the folks I know that have them swear by them.

So am considering at mo, but with another trip to Thailand coming up I am in no hurry.

Maybe you should look at a ipad as it has the advantage for travel etc

1260319 2012-02-21 05:54:00 The reason not many people have OS X on their PC's is because it's (Legitimately) impossible. Only illegal ports of it usually referred to as "Hackintosh" are available. I tried one once, its very hit and miss as well as being buggy. So even if you do cross to the illegal dark side (or light side) it's more for the entertainment value of having mac on PC.

Yeah that's largely to do with patchy community drivers and the amount of different hardware combinations available that are fully functional.

1260322 2012-02-21 06:17:00 Speaking of macs I may try one of their wireless mouse/mice or keyboards. And see how good they are / if they work in Win7. I managed to get the Bootcamp 4 ISO with the Win7 drivers :p Speedy Gonzales (78)
1260323 2012-02-21 06:23:00 Had a family member ask me the same question if it would work as they liked using the Keyboard,looks like most things work with some software enhancements

Some one must have one working that they can share their experiences?
