Okay, I have a few questions regarding Apples Aperture program. Here  
is my situation:

I have a friend that is in photography/graphic design. He purchased  
Aperture for use with his business, but for various reasons he has  
decided that after using it for a few months that it is not the  
correct choice for him.

He offered to sell the software to me for $50 (i figure it's a steal  
from the retail price) original instal discs, box and all.
I've been interested in trying it out.

my questions are these:

1. I know that my 12" powerbook is not officially supported, but he  
said that he has been running it on a 12" pb at his office using some  
sort of hack. Are there any legal ramifications from using said hack?  
(I wouldn't think so, but I figured that I would check)

2. As I've not used the program personally, I'm not sure that it is  
the correct solution for me. I've read that Aperture copies all of  
the photos from your iPhoto library. Is there a way to make it just  
link to the files so that I don't have double the space of pictures  
on my laptop? (I'd like to keep my iPhoto library intact, in case I  
want to revert back to using it)

3. If i bought the program from him, and didn't care for it, would it  
be okay to sell it on ebay or such if I deleted it from my mac?
