Keldyn Posted July 22, 2002 Share Posted July 22, 2002 I'm seriously contemplating buying a Mac. Yeah, all the mac groupies have won me over...:sleeping: Although, the probability of OSX on x86 is next to nothing, it would definately be interesting to see. Still, i would much rather run it "natively" on Mac hardware rather than Intel.

sunnyy4 Posted July 22, 2002 Share Posted July 22, 2002 I'd use VMWare to test it out and give it a chance, and then I'll do away w/ Windows once I learn everything there is to know about OSX. Does that sound like a plan to you?

Chicane-UK Veteran Posted July 22, 2002 Veteran Share Posted July 22, 2002 Even if I had to pay for it, I would do it without hesitation. OSX is one of the best operating systems I ever used..
