[ampTK]

you dual posted, can you erese the other one

[Bryon]

I did want a Mac at one time but there commerals have changed my opion of Apple. They trash Windows and the in the next breath hey you can install Windows on a Mac! I for one have never had a BSOD or lockup,reboot or crash on my PC nor has my Hackintosh both custom built.

[brewno]

Definately. Installing OSX made me want even more to buy an iMac.

[omgpants]

Where's the 'What nonsense, I've always wanted to buy a mac!' option?

[macssam]

after using windows and linux

for 2 years I will go back to Mac

when prices get more realistic

[TsubakiSama]

Going to get an old PowerMac G4 or a cheap used Mac Mini just for the fun.

[sigxcpu]

actually i bought 3 macs starting this year (last year i was using a hp nc8000 with mac os x):

G4 iBook 2nd hand

MBP new

MB new

[baysie]

I have a 1gz G4 lappy and a 1.67 G4 lappy, I bought these before x86, x86 on my pc is just for fun, all my real world stuff gets done on G4's.......

 

After buying 2, I would still go out and buy a new Mac Book Pro !

[KTC]

I bought an iBook 2 years ago........................

I kinda wanted a mac before OSX86, but wouldn't have bought one due to not knowing much about them... and the price.

 

After I started using osx86 I decided that buying a real Mac would be most definately worth it. I know it is over priced and I could build a better computer for much cheaper, but it's a real Mac.

[sandmanfvrga]

Yes and no. I will not buy an macbook pro, macbook, or imac, to high. The mac mini is not bad and mac pro is good. In the future I will have mini or pro, but that is it. Right now my hackintosh is just fine.

[Alessandro17]

So the majority of us *will* buy a Mac because of OSX86. I guess S J can be happy.

I want to buy either a Macbook/Macbook Pro or a desktop which costs around 1,500 Dollars or Eur, in its basic configuration (if and when one comes out). I am not considering anything else at the moment.

But I'll wait for the core 2 duo.

 

It is the only reasonable thing to do. I have always considered Windows sh#t and Linux is disappointing me at the moment, after several years.

I have ALWAYS owned macs..ALWAYS. from my first comp to nearly a month ago when I got two dead PC boxes and made a frankenbox out of the bits that still went.

 

If it makes you feel better to own a MAC then sweet.

 

If its a Hackintosh then sweet.

 

After a while all boxes become the same: a Tool. and thats pretty much it...

 

For me, Lurking here over the last wee while, Well i've had more fun reading the trials and tribulations of the users here than I have had for a while now....

 

I have been more educated and inspired than i can remember.

 

So i think yeah maybe I'll buy a mac again in the future ( Cos they still look pretty sweet to me, the Mac pro that is.)

 

But I am SOOOOOOOOO gonna build a hackintosh...

 

 

Coz its there and coz I can

I became hooked on OS X86, and just purchased my first my about a week ago - Needless to say, I love my new MacBook.

[Weebs]

I purchased my iMac about 1/2 a month ago because I was in need of a new pc, and I was hooked on OSX86

[stargatefan]

I will probably buy a mac when money shows up, probably during taxes.

[cno]

Being in the IT-Business for almost 20 years now, I´ve always worked with DOS / Windows boxes. OSX/86 convinced me to try OSX. Installed it on a Fujitsu Desktop PC, tried it for a few days, sold my new Asus Notebook and got myself a Macbook instantly.

 

OSX/86 is the reason why i own a mac now.

[eggie]

im actually thinking to buy a power mac g4 or something cause osx86 wont install on my pc and im sic of using vmware

[exscape]

Voted for the second option.

Before OSX86, I thought of buying a Mac, but never got to it.

Now, I'm pretty certain that I'm gonna replace my computer with a MacBook Pro when they switch over to Core 2 Duo CPUs; or when I run in to too much trouble with OSX86 .

[boo50]

i vote for the option two, but also agree with option three.

now i have a 100% working osx box, and i don't plan to change it.

it's good good for me as home/multimedia/storage computer.

i have all working w/o problems + big display(i plan to buy in a month) + big storage(very easy upgradable)

and Leopard don't worry me, i can use Tiger and i'm happy with it.

just like i installed iTunes 7 and through an hour delete it and now use 6 again.

but in the future i planned to buy a laptop, and i sure what it will be Mac Book. maybe next generation.

[GBK.Xscape]

i am living proof that osx86 will attract apple customers. i had osx86 on my laptop and now i just bought an imac. i am writing this post on it right now.

[aliquis]

I will buy a mac even though osx86 exist, what shall I vote?

[arbitrarycode]

w00t just got my MacBook Pro Core 2 duo today! OSx86 was a great influence, since I haven't used mac in years prior to this piece of software making me give it a second look. I have been a linux user for a few years, and this and the fact that I was in the market for a new laptop led me to MBP. That and the $400 student discount.

[GBK.Xscape]

yea me too, i just got a macbook pro core 2 duo. AWESOME
