Re: OSX in a non-apple?

    Interesting link but dodges the issue.  The cost for
      just supplies for this costs almost as much as a macbook and you
      still have to build it and provide software.  I think the idea of
      using an existing laptop makes much more sense.  As I said it
      worked fine on an Asus netbook.

      You can build a Hackintosh from scratch. There's also instructions
      on easy installation of Snow Leopard to a PC. The author has done
      it!

          Has anyone here got any experience loading OSX onto a non
          apple machine?

          
          I hear it can be done but I wonder if there are hardware
          problems... I'm so sick of Apple's overcharging and elitism...
          I have to buy a new laptop for my accounting and the software
          I have is for OSX. Really the simplest of modern machines will
          do perfectly so why not buy an ACER for $300.00 instead of a
          macbook for $1100?
