haha, now we watch apple trying to catch all these crackers like a hippotomus catching a rabbit (lol, i just thought that simile up).
We will see Apple thrash around making a big spectacle out of themselves in a very sue happy style.

I just wanna chime in and say, i think its great that im finally able to run Tiger on my pc. It wont stop me from getting an apple thats for sure, but for now while i dont have the money to run and buy a 2000 dollar computer, this will do. So far alot of things work, i have to settle on no 3D acceleration for the moment but im conent with playing with my new OS. 
Heres a screenshot for anyone who cares: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...Screenshot.gif

This sounds so cool. If I had time I would try to put MacOS X on my computer.

This "better" pc must meet the following requirements:
17" or better Flat CRT (as far as quality goes, CRT is higher quality than LCD)
DVD-ROM/CD-RW
80gb HD
At least ONE FireWire compatible port.
64mb dedicated VRAM (no shared memory)
512mb or higher system RAM
Built-In Wireless
Keyboard and Mouse
Software included must be similar or better in comparison to the eMac's included software bundle.
Also, it must ALL be from a manufacturer. NOT a custom PC.
Hehe, lets see where this goes from here.
