Can we please again stop the back-biting? Back on list and again
wondering if I should be.
Getting back to the original question: If you can get to a Mac store
or see a friend's Imac or even mini, you may see the attractiveness
in outward design that is so cool about a Mac as opposed to the PC.
It's the feel of the machine, its space-saving physical design, it's
'cool' look.
It's a bit like I guess the difference between getting a Merc and a
bog-standard car of the cheapest production line.
But it's your choice. I tend to agree that unless you're already used
to building mnachines it would be safer, if less rewarding from that
standpoint, to buy a ready-made new machine.

However you did make a better stab at answering the question.
upgrading the processor does not a new mac make, nor does it
apparently make for building one of course.
Personally there is nothing wrong with running os 9 if it suits
your purposes, vo does not run with what I use the mac for, so for
me os 9 is just fine, and I personally think 512 meg of memory is
more than baseless. This is me, however and I would not project my
interests onto this person, nor diminish their goals as I am not
them. It is their time after all?

because when you upgrade an old mac, you only upgrade the
processor or ram, or maybe, pci cards. big deal. I to, have torn
down, did magic tricks and rebuilt a pc, for a living mind you and
you donb't see me wripping my mac a part to see if I could do it.
it just doesn't interest me.
As mac users we know the reason why mac os and mac hw run so well
is because they were written for each other. now, if he is so
pressed on running a mac on a pc, then why not go get osm 9 and
baseless rom and a couple of other items and have a litteral mac
on your indows pc???

In an effort to add something educational here, what is the
difference between what he is suggesting, and say upgrading an
older mac to a newer one? Others have done this on this list or
have referenced as much.
building a pc from parts is not uncommon, so I can understand the
spirit of the goal, but not why the idea is such an odd one where
macs are concerned?
Just wondering,
