maol Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 I'm happy ! I bought a 24" iMac / 2.33 GHz / 2GB on february, after several mounth spent using OSX86 on a 3.06 GHz Celeron. First, I'd like to thank you all guys (& JaS of course) for making this possible : booting OS X on a PC is definitly what made me buy a Mac. I'm a *long-time* Mac user : in 1987 (when I was 14), I bought a used book introducing the 128k Macintosh, even if I didn't have any Mac - I started dreaming - in 1991 a frend of mine got a Mac IIc at home, it was the first time I used a Macintosh in my life. Unfortunetly, it wasn't mine in 1997 I started working for a compagny : I was in charge of the 180 macintosh (from Mac SE/30 to Powerbook G3). Wow ! Unfortunetly, they weren't mine. in 1999 I leaved this compagny and returned in a beige world in 2006 I discovered the OSX86 project and installed (thanks JaS) 10.4.6 on my PC in 2007 I finally bought my first Mac : the dream came true . I installed bootcamp & Vista in april but I never used Vista. In the end of May I formatted my Mac (because of problems with 10.4.9) a re-installed bootcamp but... I leaved the DOS partition blank : It seems I became "Windows-free". I installed Leopard (WWDC) on an external disc. It rocks ! I love the Web widgets, it's just POWERFULL ! Yes, I'm happy ! -- iMac 24" 2.33GHz / 2GB / 500MB + BenQ 19" screen (DVI) All working : WiFi Bluetooth Stereo IN / OUT webcam remote control & FrontRow sleep/wake ... well, it's a real one !

hackintom Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 I love to see osx86 users becoming Mac users... For my part, it was the reverse thing: I was an Apple user and then became a osx86 user... but I still have my macs :-) Have fun with your iMac !

Congrats Mao!! I agree, a real Mac is something else altogether. Now that I've managed to install OSX86 (big thanks to Uphuck, Jas et al..)on my main AMD set-up, I will use this for the heavy applications since a Mac Pro doesn't allow more than 2 internal burners and I use 4. I'm also now thinking of an iMac or a Mac Mini but I'll probably go for an iMac...It's definitely eye candy too and will have everything I need from cam to wireless with no hastles + it will be a standalone music server with my main audio rig..
