| 855058 | 2010-02-03 23:20:00 | Wow. It's amazing what can happen when one gets bored on their days off. I've just turned my HP nc6220 (Centrino1.7, 2GB RAM, 320GB HD, Intel Graphics) into a Hackintosh running 10.5.8 (No I didn't download it, I bought 10.5 retail off trademe) Considering I had Windows 7 on here before, this is a significant improvement.:banana It's faster, it's surprisingly useable, and I feel right at home with the dock since I started pinning apps onto Windows 7's taskbar. I was quite surprised at how easy it was to install (Boot-132) and how it picked up almost all of my devices as well ( Only had to install Wireless LAN and Display kexts) All in all, go leopard! |

| 855060 | 2010-02-03 23:37:00 | It comes as no surprise to us OS X users that you find it fast and usable, you will also find it very reliable as well. Well done. | Safari (3993) | ||

| 855062 | 2010-02-04 00:02:00 | Can't imagine they'd be rapt. Very strict I would think. (not that I would know) Good effort though:clap I considered trying something similar when I was doing a Diploma in Digital Film. The course was extremely Apple-centric (Final Cut etc) Managed to wobble my way through with Vista and Adobe Production premium CS4.:cool: |

| 855063 | 2010-02-04 05:32:00 | All in all, go leopard!All in all, Leopard ain't as big or strong as a lion or tiger, and it ain't as fast as a cheetah. If you're so rapt with a Mac o/s then why not go to the Mac fanboys forums and sprout about it there. |

He is still bitter about his failed relationships.I suppose when you have that many that fail you have to start picking on things to make yourself feel better |

| 855067 | 2010-02-04 06:09:00 | If you are after any software recommendations, let us know Please . I whipped out to Noel Leeming a few hours ago and bought iLife09 and iWork09 . Decided I would do the entire mac leap and ditch office . I had a good play with Keynote and it squashes powerpoint . Even the word squashes isn't good enough to describe it . Is Mac firefox better than safari? Have installed MacTheRipper, VLC, Mojo, Audim, Mactubes and Boxee . Is there any other good freeware around? Cheers Plod . |
