would be funny if your hackintosh were hacked ;?>
I got to thinking about a hackintosh because some software I'm
interested in doesn't come in a Windoze version. But, it's not software
I'd feel the need to continually upgrade to the latest version. Install
it once, and I'm done with the need to upgrade.
it was the OS updates that were trouble; but if you never use the
internet with the OS, it's pretty safe without updates
That's the kind of information I want to think through before starting
the project.
The last computer I built is the one I'm currently using for Photoshop.
I spent almost two years planning before I even started accumulating
parts. I gathered parts for about 3 months (to spread out the cost,
something I won't need to do as much now that I've finished school &
paid off my car payments). Spent a day assembling it & about a week
getting the software I wanted installed; checking everything out to make
sure it was all working like I wanted.
The only thing that system does on the internet is the software updates
for Windoze7 & Adobe, with the occasional search for how to do something
in Photoshop.
What I'm thinking about the hackintosh for is a music workstation -
electronic instrument - recording platform. Anything I bring down from
the internet for it will be scanned & vetted on this system before going
over to the workstation on CD/memory stick. At this stage of my
planing, I'm not even thinking of connecting it to my home network.
