Not meaning to be an arrogant person, but OSx86 is not my life. I do not make money off of it, therefore I do not do one on one support nor will I help you when it's terribly late for me and I have work of which I work LONG hours and come home tired to try and relax, the last thing I want to do is get hassled everyday for support. Also, that's what the forums are for. If you don't really know what you're doing, please do your research and learn some stuff about OSx86 and how things work before you try it so that if something does indeed go wrong, you can troubleshoot it yourself. I did. So can you.

Also, this does not make me want to help you any further anyway, and is also the reason I removed ALL contact info from my profiles:

By the way, that's the SAME GUY, just different screen names.

That was on Yahoo! Messenger via Adium. I have since removed my personal contact info from all OSx86 sites, though.

Field Note #1 @oneshot 2009-03-22

wow lmao. Some people are so ungrateful. I bet tarvox/infectex is some 10 year old kid that sits at home all day on his computer. His question was probably "What is an .iso?" haha

Field Note #2 @naquaada 2009-03-22

Idiots you'll find everywhere, especcially in chat rooms :-B
Both names aren't registered in infinitemac, but I remember the name tarvox from somewhere.

I recognize the name tarvox from somewhere as well?

Field Note #5 @Taisto 2009-03-23

It`s not an investigation, but you both probably recognize him from Ubuntu forums.
