OSX on a Mac Mini

That's what I did. I have a hackintosh and a hackbook; I like to tinker around and you'll sure be doing that with OSX86...

Now if any of you two feel like talking more trash about how I spend my money, you'll find your post deleted. That will be the first warning. (I only give 2, the second puts you on vacation).

Hey that's abuse of power in my book. If he feels that way he should be able to say it. IMHO salespeople that DO know what they are talking about are valuable for some customers. If you're not one of them that's ok.

On topic: I don't have the old Amiga feeling with my hackintoshes, my iPhone or the local Apple Store. Those days are over sadly. For me the Amiga days were painting in DPaint and trying to create games in AMOS with a friend; more like a bedroom coder. Closest to that feeling was building Flash games. I stopped with that too because I'm too busy with my real job.

I'm afraid I have to disagree a bit with you here... Yes, a hackintosh is harder to maintain than a real Mac but I have two hackintoshes and they are stable and all running vanilla software updated to 10.5.5. It is true that you need to collect your hardware carefully but once you do it's as fast as the real thing and a heck of a lot cheaper. Payed under 1000 euros for a machine that's faster than the Mac Pro of that time.

For me it wasn't about the money either; I mainly run Windows on my machines, but the challenge.  It made me decide that my next laptop will be Apple though, but for now my hackbook Acer Aspire will do fine (which was also a lot cheaper than the MacBook Pro with the same specs).
