firefoxsilver9 Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 i'd probably say "It's a modified version of OSX running on a non-mac platform" or something like that.

Diamondsami Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 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 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/227009-running-hackintosh-in-public-place/#findComment-1521914 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nameci Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 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.

aylamrin Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 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?" ...

mtest Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 It happened to me recently in a meeting... The guy sitting on my right was looking over my shoulder, and after a while he asked "But wait a minute it's a Mac ?", then, the girl sitting on my left replied "No, it's a Samsung !" and the guy replied to her "Yeah I know, but it's running Mac !" I just kept quiet in the middle, waiting for them to stop arguing Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/227009-running-hackintosh-in-public-place/#findComment-1529936 Share on other sites More sharing options...
