I'm planning to get me a MBP though, as soon as I've earned enough money...

LCIII? System 7.5.3, ah the good old  Comps!

Good luck with the MBP

I have a iBook G4, broken though..... think the memory or CPU is busted

Would run Panther, if it worked.

Mother owns a MacBook Air, wont let me use it

Also an old PowerMac G3 in my room, still going smooth

with original Screen, keyboard and mouse running OS8!

Well, the OSx86 scene has caused me to spend a lot of money to buy me the real thing. So now I have:

- Apple Macbook Pro 15.3", Core2Duo 2.93GHz, nVidia 9400M + nVidia 9600M GT/512MB, 4GB DDR3/1066, 320GB/7200rpm
- Apple 24" LED Cinema Screen
- Apple Wireless Keyboard
- Logitech V450 nano

Attached to the screen, I have a 1TB WD USB harddisk that is split 50/50 for Time Machine and storage of pics and stuff and archives I don't need/want to fill up my internal disk. I also have a 1TB NAS I can access wherever I am in the house.

I absolutely love this thing. It works so well, much better than the hack I have. And the screen is absolutely awesome. And I have to say, nothing works as intuitive as the multi-touch gestures on that big trackpad.

Apple probably (or should) has a love/hate relation with the OSx86 scene as MS has with illegal software. Without the hackint0sh I would never have spend close to $4,000 on a new computer. But it was worth it.

And no, I do not have a Dell. I just grabbed a mousepad from work years ago.

@throttlemeister; very nice indeed

If you ever get fed up with that set up let me know

The only Mac I'd need is a Mac Mini G4 with 1.5 GHz and 64 MB VRAM - but only to run AmigaOS 4 on it!

@throttlemeister;

Serious monitor envy here!!!

I hope to get my own 24" Apple Display in the next couple of months. How are you finding the small wireless keyboard, do you not miss the number pad at all?

naquaada · #17 05-09-2009, 01:25 PM

This small keyboard reminds me on the Amiga 600 which has also a sized down keyboard than the normal Amigas:

There were some tools to emulate the number pad for the Amiga 600 because some apps used these keys for special functions. Maybe there's something for the Mac too.

Oops: Do you recognize the keyboard layout of the Amiga 600?

You will love it when you get it. It is friggin HUGE (coming from a 17" 4:3 screen), but it is so beautiful and the image is amazing. I did calibrate it, as stock it is a bit over-saturated on the reds, but now it is gorgeous. Do realize it does not connect to anything, except the new Apple machines (currently the MBA, MBP, MP only) due to the mini-displayport connector

As for the keyboard, I find it very nice. I deliberately do got the one with the numeric pad, as I don't have a numeric pad when using the laptop by itself either. I find it is ok to be without, as long as you are consistent. If you are not, you will find it very lacking.

naquaada: the scarey AZERTY keyboard the Belgians and French use you mean? Completely impossible to type on!

Apple (or a third party) seriously needs to start considering making a Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter.
