Yes, Trekie. It's called OSX.  :-P

Still sounds like OSX to me. :lol:

Heh. Its true. Apple hasnt learnt a thing...



*snort*

That's my whole point. At least the hardware is getting a tad cheaper, but not by much. Luckily, my Toshiba is a blatant rip off of a MacBook, so I just turned it into a Hackintosh. Granted, my Wifi doesn't work, but I'm just waiting for *nix drivers. My only complaint is the copy of OSX I bought. I still can't do a vanilla install from the original OSX DVD.  :-(

@Methuselas:

How are you getting OSX.xxx on the Toshiba if not by DVD? Was it a real pain?


No, I'm installing it by DVD. What I'm saying is, the vanilla version of OSX 10.5.6 hangs on install. Now, the [truncated] version works fine, I just can't update it through the software. I'm sure it's something to do with the BIOS. I had to downgrade my BIOS revision to get it to work properly.

It screams, BootCamp works really well with TinyXP and I'm quite happy with it. As I said, my only complaints are that I can't just install directly from my purchased OSX DVD and that drivers for my Wifi don't work. Everything else is fine and has no problems with drivers (My sound chip was a bit of an issue, but was quickly fixed thanks to the abilities of the linux world and their developers).

[EDIT] - I should point out that it is possible to install OSX, via flash drive, but that's not a topic for Amiga.org.
