@Waccoon -
Anyone know where I can buy a used, MacOS X capable system for $200 or less? Specs aren't important as I'd use it strictly for compatibility testing.
RetroBox has some... Actually, they have lots of really cool older systems!
As for the people who say Macs are simplistic and not advanced.... These are basically people who haven't used OSX. OSX allows a lot of tinkering room, if you choose to venture there.
Almost all the options typically available on a computer are available through the pretty candy-coated OSX GUI.
But, you also have a shell, that is your standard Unix-style shell. Unix commands work as expected. Many config files are where you'd expect to find them, as well.
You can use the computer however you'd like. I had to use one for a couple-month contract late last year. Myself, coming from a PC/Amiga/Linux background used the Mac like a Linux box. My co-worker, a longtime Mac fan, used it like an older Mac. We were both amazed at how well both of our totally different approaches worked. I don't think he ever touched a shell, and I only left mine to click buttons in apps.
As much as I liked the Mac, for my own use, I couldn't justify spending that much money for a machine that didn't do anything I couldn't do on my PC. I might consider picking up a sub-$600 new Mac, though, especially if Apple comes up with some novel TV-PVR/Media PC type features built-in.
This new Pizza-box Mac has my curiosity.....
