Mac your way around

 

A hackintosh, actually

My Hackintosh


This is a screenshot of my latest hobby. It took me about a month to get this thing going perfectly. Never had my interface looked so elegant! The Mac interface is just great. And when the fanboys said it is very user-friendly, they were not kidding. When it comes down to it, the reason why it’s so damn easy is probably because you don’t have much choices. All you get are those that you actually need. Real Macs even have only one button! If you’re not familiar with it, a Hackintosh is a Mac installation on a non-Mac hardware. I managed to get my good ol’ PC working with the shiny new Leopard. And to think I have an AMD.

Installing Mac on PCs are not so hard nowadays. Several people came up with installers that can install practically on any PC. The only problem I had was that I was not so familiar with Mac that I did not know what those error messages were about when I installed my first Mac download. And I have an AMD processor, and in case you don’t know, real Macs use Intel. So what I did was just download another one. And sure enough it did work!

Right now I’m still working on making Warcraft work on this one because everytime I try to install, the installer crashes right away, and I found out it is a PPC(translated) binary. 

All in all, the Mac experience is WAY better than anything I had with any version of Windows.
