One Year of OSx86

Cheers to a successful year! I've been visiting since the beginning, and it's been great.

It kinda brings a tear to my eye *sob*. I remember my nights in the IRC channel talking about getting a bootable DVD working. :pirate2:

I was sitting on the toilet reading a newspaper article when I found out about the switch ... where were you?

:pirate2: I got a phone call from my broker(friend) telling me my stocks had a good day...

I heard my sister screaming because she has just bought a G5 mac. How unlucky......

now I have os x running faster than her mac........AHHHHHHHHHHHHH Life's Good :pirate2:

To OSx86 !

When I found out, I was talking to my Youthgroup leader, who incidentally owned a PowerBook G4, and we were talking about computers, etc...

MY DREAMS OF INSTALLING MAC ON MY PC GOT A RAY OF LIGHT WHEN SJ ANNOUNCED THE RELEASE OF MAC OS X FOR INTEL.

THEN OF COURSE WHO CAN FORGET THE FIRST INSTALLMENT OF APPLE MAC OS X(SPECIAL THANKS TO DEADMOO)

WHO STARTED IT ALL.

THEN THERE WERE A NUMBER TECH WEBSITES COVERING THIS NEWS.

BUT THIS ONE IS TERRIFIC.

Great going " osx86project.org"

This site definitely helped me in the whole process of learning.

AND THE BEST ONE The FrontPage News, which continously updated on the progress of Mac an other related stuff, it is through that i have learned so muchh!!!!!

AND ABOVE ALL MY FIRST INSTALL WAS COMPLETED BY 4:00 AM, AND THE RESULTS WERE WAY ABOVE EXPECTATIONS, THAT MY MACHINE WOULD EVER BOOT SUCH A BEAUTIFUL OS ONE DAY.

GR8 GOIN osx86project.org , MASH(The Admin) and all the MODS.

Heard it from sHARD>> and went O RLY?

Beware unintended consequences. Apple moving to x86 lead to hacked OS X running on a variety of PC's. The Hackintosh may unintentionally push Apple to release OS X for PC's in general, not just their own high-priced designer hardware. Consumers being advertised a choice of OS will then be more inclined to consider Linux.

Steve may bring down Bill, but at a cost of a pox upon both their houses...

ahh those early days. seems like longer ago than just a year.

slice of mactel.tar anyone? more tea vicar? etc.

NICE.

1 year, wow. I have a story even Mr Jobs would like.

I was so excited the first time I installed 10.4.3 on my compaq laptop

I then rushed out and built a dual core machine with genuine intel motherboard and it ran 10.4.6 flawlessly.

I then sold the laptop and purchased a macbook all within 6 months.

Sometimes I wonder if this hack was all done to get people talking or switching, either way I am forever converted.

I heard about the Intel switch from a friend and then immediately thought about OS X running on "beigebox" PCs. Searched for a while, and found this site. Been here ever since.

Cant remember how i stumbled on this site but from then on i was hooked and so happy it could run native... i was so desperate to run it on PC hardware i used PearPC... the thing that made me sick was some Hawian Dude Ripping of PearPC and Selling it, guess he didnt make much sales after word of it running native got around.

Anyway, thanks to this site and its staff.. i love ya all.

Lol, AMDProphet, i beat you by one Day on joining the site.

Haha nice itmandan. I actually created this account quite recently, but I've been reading since the day this site opened.

since one of my dreams was coming true..that year bout osx86 was so so nice to handle..with both all these people and with THE COMRADES OF THE PROJECT ...

In hope for the many long years together ...

the community change my way of thinking that i am stuck on office suite of MS for windows, its change my thinking that OSes boots very very slow and afraid to reboot because it will ,,,aaaaahhhh... but osx86project and the tiger(i) proven me wrong... NOW im hook on tiger and saving to owned a macbook.... somehow i feel this is an apple plan and its working , or this community is just and angel send for someone like me(or us)..... thanks a lot... been here every day..

Cheers to 1 year!!! I remember putting 10.4.1 on my dell laptop and shocking a few 'apple snobs' (NOT THAT ALL APPLE OWNERS ARE SNOBS BUT THESE 4 PEOPLE WERE!) @ a friends office building. You can imagine their faces when the apple boot screen loaded on my dell. Here's to good times, and many more to come!

My quest for a Macbook: $200/$1289 saved = 15% towards goal!

I remember CherryOS.. I hated the guy that lead it with a passion!

CherryOS was a horrible idea led by a horrible guy. I think a lot of us hated him. Anyways, this is getting off topic, I'm going to stop talking.

Hi All:

I started late in the game by joining this forum (around February 2006) after I heard that Apple was going to use Intel chips.

I started by installing OSx86 10.4.1 (DeadMoo's) image on one of my Dell Desktops. Eventually, I was able to install on my Dell Inspiron 1150 Laptop.

Eventually, I broke down and bought custom-built PC (primarily based on specs from OSx86 Hardware Wiki - Thanks so much to OSx86Project!) The PC runs 10.4.5 and fully supports graphics (QE/CI) using GMA 900, sound, networking and even wireless (NetGear PCI).

OSx86Project has been a great resource for learning and keeping informed about all things Intel/Mac. Thanks for doing a great job.

joy.

I have learnt soo much about OSX and apple through this and now I'm saving up to get a MBP one day.

Long live OSx86!

I remeber last summer, getting my hands on the first installable OSx86. Back then, this community was relatively small, Maxxuss was a local legend, and there was the feeling around that OSx86 would become limitless...

Oh yeah, and I still remember the debugging phases for the patched CoreImage files for 10.4.1. You know, the color banding on the menus and such? Ah, good times.

We will follow you to whatever end, Steve.

Thanks osx86. I dunno what I should do without you. I should more to say, but my poor English don't permit more.

Thanks!
