That is why I think selling a port of the Mac OS for PCs makes more sense than ever. And an entry level tower machine too. Even BMW has an M3 ( for the many here who like car analogies) Legitimizing a port of OSX to PCs would open a can of worms and knock the polish of the Mac image. Apple would rather leave the back door open to those brave souls willing to tame the Hackintosh beast. If you have enough $$ to put together a decent PC, you can have a Hackintosh, as many do. Otherwise, a real Mac assures you of success out of the box. Making a software-only Mac would diminish the Brand. Apple products have the reputation they do because they work, and I don't blame Apple for wanting to keep control, which they would lose if they lost control of the hardware. Just my 2 cents. And sorry about the rich text. So many here post in it I had forgotten. And in gmail it is easy to switch for different purposes but easy to forget when one is in a hurry too.

Hmmm, is this something which requires Leopard, Snow Leopard or an Intel Mac? All I got (G4 867 QS/Tiger 10.4.11/Safari 4.1.3), for as long as I was willing to put up with it (not long!) was a black screen and really annoying interrupted dialog. It plays ok on my 933 MHz QuickSilver, under Tiger. Took a little while to get going tho. The site seems to be under quite a load. - Dan. Plays just fine. Well, one small hiccup on my 450 MHz Smurf (an overclocked 400 MHz) with 896 MB of RAM. Much better than most YouTube stuff. --glen :sigh OK, it just won't work for ME. I just tried again (it's lots of hours later than when I first tried)...no go, same crap. -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
