| Run Mac on Linux on OS X for OS 9 Users with newer PPC macs I've been thinking and have been wanting to run Mac OS 9 on my iBook G4 (Mid 2005, 14" which I'm getting buried with, by the way ) and I can't run Mac OS 9 because Apple blocked off the capability and only left Apple Hardware Test (heavily… | Hardware & Dev | 5,573 reads 2009-08-19 · 1 notes |
| Good Case - $150 or less Well, my graduation gift this year is some money to build a computer. I will start to order parts by the end of July. I only have one issue, and that's finding a nice case that isn't exorbitant in cost. I'm looking for a mid tower which… | General | 5,212 reads 2009-06-18 · 5 notes |

| What mouse are you using with your (Hack)Mac “@ Taisto: I have like 5 sets of those mice and keyboards in all different colors. And I use a Logitech MX-3000 set. The keyboard kicks the crap out of the flat one at the Apple Store.” | Hardware & Dev | 2009-04-25 47,452 dossier reads |
