Is there a better way to respond if people ask, is this a Mac ?

[firefoxsilver9]

i'd probably say "It's a modified version of OSX running on a non-mac platform" or something like that.

I just look them in the eye and say "Do I know you?"

This is part of an experimental project to investigate the possibilities of use of new OSs in generic PC platforms

I got a lot of question like this: What is this Windows? or: How did you make your Vista look like that? Here in Bulgaria most of the people doesn't even heard of OSX, for them OS means Windows

Stranger: Is that a mac?
Me: What do you think?

[Recon 023]

I normally respond, yep I's a Mac and a PC.

[Nameci]

Many times, I have said no it is not a Mac it is a PC running a Mac OSX.

"Is it possible?"

Well, you have seen it.



"How do you do that?"

Well it is a little bit of tricky, and it is by the way a hobby.

Perfect response, best of all, you should answer it in front of the genius bar workers in an Apple Store

[tomazzzi]

I would answer : Yes it s a new model only available for us.

I say you know I got this message online asking if I wanted to update drivers and optimize my computer and I clicked yes. And this is what it looks like now, it´s really not the same at all as before but I like a lot.

well finally, the leopard found it's home in tropical where the sun shining and warmer, sometimes hot. Now he is a permanent resident.

(you know the CPU temperature sometimes hot, unusual.)

But of course i would not say this to an angry guy, instead i would say, i'm running Remote Desktop Viewer to my Mac at home and this is confidential, may i ?

I had this insurance guy come over to my place. In a bid to impress his assistant (a dumb but drop dead gorgeous girl in early 20s) he said... "Oh, don't bother, I have seen all these tricks" And then he turned towards me and asked, "So, how big is this theme after all, would you mind copying the setup to my thumb drive?" ... LOL
