My name is Garry. I work in the IT field like most people here. I live in Florida. Been playing with computers since '81 with my cousin's TRS80. Love computers, and Windows,OSX. I would have liked to see where the AMIGA would have gone if it had remained in the technological arena. I've always been a MAC fan at heart but used PC for it's affordability. I am fascinated with OSX86. I wonder if it's going to go anywhere ... Happy to meet you all!

i go by many names... a shadow in the night, a tree that never stops swaying...even when there is no wind!!!!

or im bill, 21, australia

ive been osx'ing for about 6 months now, i use the OS mainly for logic and pro tools, as its what im used to with my music studies
Other than that ive been mainly running windows/linux boxes

i work at officeworks (office supplies) selling really crappy laptops
and i spend the rest of my time making tunes or drinking beer

I am Stereobus. I am a Computer Information Technology student at a community college. I got into computers working with music editors and mutitrack recording. I do not hate microsoft. I like many features of Windows, OS X, and Linux (Ubuntu and Freespire). I guess operating systems are just kinda my thing. I have a PowerPC dual G4 (OS X 10.3.9), a custom built audio workstation PC dual booting Win XP sp2 and Ubuntu Linux 6.06) and an Acer TravelMate notebook dual booting Windows Vista Home Basic and Mac OS X 10.4.5.
My favorite OS is Mac OS X and it runs way faster on my Celeron Laptop, than on the G4 desktop.


Acer TravelMate 2480
Mac OS X 10.4.5 (Jas DVD) / Windows Vista HB
Intel Celeron 1.6GHz (working with SSE2 patch)
512MB PC533 (Runs OSX very efficiently, Vista very Slooooowly )
Intel 950 graphics (Working, 1280 X 800)
RealTek Audio (Working with patch)
PS/2 trackpad and mouse (working with patch)

Mark, 36 going on 37 from Europe. I am in the medical profession as a MD. Always used computers starting out with simple home computers eventually ending up with PC and Macintosh.
I started out on ZX81/ZX48, c64, msx, amiga, Atari ST, PC XT, 68k macs, PPC 601 macs, G3, G4 mac and hackintosh with XP - Vista on the side.

Hey guys and girls. My names ryan and I was introduced to this site about a year ago. I had no idea what OS X was but I was able to get it to run on my toshiba. Fast forward a year and a half I own a macbook and posting this thread.

I would have to say that the x86 version of OS X molded me into a mac user. Looking forward to posting more on here.

Sup. My name's Zach, and I've been an unregistered lurker for around a year, when I first became interested in Mac OS X after my Windows computer became increasingly unreliable. I attempted to install OSx86 on it, but it was insanely slow on my 128MB RAM computer. So I saved up, and got an iMac in the summer. Now I've joined here because of the recent Apple TV flurry.

I'm akaakmdm (sorry, can;t say name). I'm only 12 years old. I live in Australia and go to NSW's smarted school (top HSC results for the last several years) I'm very experienced with computers for my age. My system WAS triple booted and today it's nothing cause I stuffed it up with osx86. I've proven though that mac os x works on my machine. I;m going to make a quad boot tommorrow.

Mac os x86 rules!!

P.S.
how does chain0 work to link mac with other os'es

Also, am I the only kid roaming insanely mac?

Damn, some of you made.

Student stuck in the American System for life: - Got enough loans to live life all over again without buying a thing.

Computer Games all I look forward to at end of day

Study 35 hours a week. Forced.

Work for minimum wage.

Bought a new longboard - LUV IT

Bored as usual only thing interesting is breaking OS'es and programming.
That's why have plenty each with its own problems.

Howdy everyone. I don't remeber how I found osx86, but I freaked out when I found out I could put OSX on a pc. I have been using mac since 99. I am an artist and musician so I don't much about programming. I am just so grateful for this site. I have installed the jas 10.4.8 on a dvd onto a used homemade pc I got off of craigslist and it worked right out of the box!

I am now going to try and build a real hackintosh using the p5w dh deluxe board.

Here is a screen shot of me running protools and a drawing I did on painter using the hackintosh

My name is DaN, i´m a robot from the future who travelled to past to warn you that skynet is gonna destroy the world...
Soooo decide to try osx on mine and fell in love with it, if only sound worked better...i´m thinking in changing my cmi9880 card...

As you probably notice, my english is one of those primitive communications methods and nothing else, thats because i´m from Argentina (yeah yeah Tango blabla, meat blabla...women!!), i´m 24 and i´ve been studying graphic design for 5 years til now, still i have to study 2 years more and i´m doing some little things on myself as freelance designer.

I´ve been using pcs from more than 15 years, but only as advanced user, i´ve never programed anything, can´t go much further on codelines that flash actionscript, but since i installed osx five days ago, i´ve been looking darwin terminal and modifying some kexts and have to say...kind a like it! wish i new more to do it, really hard efford! Well taking about styles and likes... music all the time (3 days without sound, image my mood!!) al kinds of music from Beethoven to Techno or gothic metal! (please nightwish is NOT the only one...) charon, for my pain, entwine, mogwai, faithless, iggy pop, goldfrapp, queens of the stone age, natas, covenant an more is what i got on iTunes now, love art of course and obviously, design of everykind

This site is the best that happened to me since i now that macs exist (here in argentina the is no great market for that and they cost a lot!, usually people can get them only when they, just dont need to work with them anymore jeje)

well sorry write too much!

Hi everyone,

My name is X_NINJA I just got OSX installed on my AMD box today I am currently working on a BA in criminal justice. I also do IT support for a State Agency while attending school. I have been a big computer geek for most of my life. I just love to work with computers I have run every OS from mac OS 6 to Windows XP and everything in between.

I hope to both learn and contribute allot to this site and I just wanted to say Thanks to the OSX86 project you all rock

Action RPGs and Adventure games are my favorite video games
My favorite thing to drink is Baja Blast Mountain Dew. (Taco bell only so far... :[)
I miss Pepsi Blue

There is me in a nutshell XD

Hi, my name's Konrad, I'm 17. I'm a vegetarian. I'm a senior and I'm graduating this year. CLASS OF '08 REPRESENT! My philosophy on life is, life is short, do whatever you want, just don't get caught. I'm a musician and hope to do that for a living. Currently I'm my own band. I have a very eclectic taste. I watch many different kinds of movies, listen to music from genres ranging from every extreme of the spectrum, all that. I'm an Apple switcher, convertee, whatever. Just not fully yet, cause I'm too poor to afford a Mac. But I started saving up for a new MacBook so hooray me!

Hello, My name is Mike Fine. My internet name is ToA because of lego bionicles. I've always been interested in computers, i probably started using computers when i was 6 or so..

Now i know more about macs than probably anybody in my school and use a white 24inch iMac as my computer.

I love music, mostly rock, and my stats are currently: , Yeah alot. I love making youtube videos, one of my hobbies, and i love to sing, i've been told im a great singer. I write lots (and i mean lots) of lyrics for songs, and am currently learning guitar so i can play them.

My current bf is like the best ever. Im bi. I usually tell the most personal stuff of mine to the internet, dont know why.

My fav color is pink

I've been called a narcissist. So?

Hi, I'm Toulac (search me on youtube!) and I joined this forum because Paranoid Marvin recommended it!
I know nothing about Macs, and little about computer programming, so hopefully I'll pick up some info....

I run a forum myself, which is 56 trillion times better because it's a preferred subject

Hi people
My name is Robert. I came here when I read about OSx86. I wanted a mac so much after I went to one Apple store class. I got it because my grandparents have two macs and they have pro care, were going away, so they gave a class to me. They are so expensive, so I did this. I used to be just a windows expert, but now I am pretty good with macs too. At school the teachers call me out of class just to fix their computers, and my family almwas seems to come to me with all their computer problems. thats me!

Hey guys.

My name's Paul, I live in Pretoria, South Africa, which is known for it's high levels of sunshine, crime and...um...rugby?

I like computers, always have (duh), but when I discovered the OSX86 project it reinvorgorated that (and my P4!) I think if I was using windows, I wouldn't really have any passion for them!

Well I'm studying a BSC Physics and Computer Science, and Classical Guitar.

Hi,

I'm Peng from Canada. I'm not exactly computer savvy, but that does not mean I'm incapable. I joined this forum to follow the instructions and tips about things I don't know how to do, which is great because getting someone else to do it is always a pain.

In my spare time, I like working out and learning neat skills. I'm lately getting into acrobatics and parkour.

In my dreams, I am a ninja in pink.

I'm 14, My name is Brian, freshman in high school(Eastern US). I like to play guitar, although I'm not very good yet(I've only been playing for a few months). I can't count how many friends' computers and friends' parent's computers I've fixed. I've even fixed a few school computers. I work in my school's tech department in the summer, mostly cleaning and moving stuff. My obsession with Macs started over last summer, when I finished building my computer. Contrary to popular belief, I indeed do have a life, and a girlfriend. It doesn't bother me because I know that most of the people that believe I have no life are insignificant and unimportant twats who don't help the world one damn bit. Most of all, I enjoy life. I like going on vacation, I hope to tour Europe next summer I also enjoy learning new things; knowledge is a powerful weapon.

so, something about me
I'm Martin, I'll be 19 in may, I live in Poland (Myslowice). In this year I'm going to university, probably to Wroclaw, for study journal. I use Linux (since 5 years) and MacOS X on HP Pavilion dv5000.
My hobby is photographing, reggae and linux
and I'm moderator on Gentoo Forums in Polish subforum

that's all about me

cheers

Well, this is a little late but here goes:

My name is David and I'm 13 years old in 7th grade living in Glendale, NY like a 30min drive to the city. I have been obsessed with computers since I was a little child and from then I never stopped learning. I have fixed so many computers that I don't think nobody can calculate how many (for both friends and school). My first computer was an old mac color classic which I still have in mint condition with the install floppies and peripherals. From then I experimented with all platforms and have gained experience in: Windows, Linux, BSD (OS X), IRIX, Solaris, Darwin (OS X), and NexTStep. I also like music, but don't take much taste in rap or these other noisy genres. For me, techno/trance and old classic rock is the way to go. My favorite types of movies are comedies because I love getting good laughs. Anyway, I'm waiting 'till 8th grade to graduate (Class of '09) and then have hopes of going to a good highschool eventually to do my final learning in MIT. I also take much interest in girls, because, it's always fun to be with them. Friends, I have only a select few because most of the people I have seen are too immature for me to deal with. I really don't need idiots cracking sex jokes near some girl I'm trying my luck with and having them depict me spanking them. No way. Anyway, that's me.

Hi,
Im from the netherlands.
When i heard that you could install Apple on a regular pc i had to try it. Got tiger running in VMware now, no luck installing natively but i hope i get there, eventually
My father has a mac, and i always liked the interface, and its very user friendly, when i first saw it i wanted a mac right on.

Hello everyone, my name's pentarch_paladin. I converted to a Mac about this time last year, and it didn't dissapoint
I heard about this board while I was checking my RSS feeds, and decided I'd check it out.

Hello, I lurked here a fair while when I was getting my head around into making my laptop into a Hackintosh. Seems to be working quite well now, and I even bought Logic Pro for it! (which works flawlessly )

Hi everyone!

Hi all, names Andrew 24 and from Rochdale in the UK.

Getting into Macs now and due my first one after saving in a few months, thought I would join here and learn more about Macs before I get involved even more.

Hello I am brucetoshiba I am Trying to get OSX lepord on a Toshiba A215-s5837 laptop any one knows if this is a qualified laptop for hacintosh Lepord install and how to do this and what specific instructions and if anyone has done so?

This is definitely not the place, haha. I think you want the newby section in the OSX86 Project forum.


Anyways, I'm Ken, I'm 21, I live in Hagerstown, Maryland. I love computers and gadgets and music. I've been a stanch PC user forever, always hating on Macintosh. More and more, though, I'm finding less reason to stick up for M$, so I figure that, in order to move to better places computer-wise AND keep my Mac-loving friends from teasing me till the cows come home, I searched around and found the osx86 project. It works nicely for shocking/amusing/offending my Mac-Whore friends (I say that, but I'll probably be one before long)

I kind of feel bad for bumping this thread, but I couldn't help myself.

Well I'm Garrett, nice to meet everyone. I'm a sophomore in high school, I play varsity football, i love music, computers, and electronics. I live in Texas, and I'm the oldest out of all my siblings. I listen to lots of metal, alternative, screamo, and techno lol. I skateboard, skimboard, snowboard, and fish alot as well. I'm a huge Mac fan boy heh. Hope to get to know everyone and learn more about how I can make my computer awesome.

Hello, I'm Chris.
It's been three weeks since my last fish.

Hello Chris nice to meet you, I'll be sure to grab a nice fish for you.
