Mac OSX on PC
If you own a PC but really want a Mac then a cheaper way of doing this is to use an emulator on the PC that emulates the PowerPC architecture so that you can run Mac OSX in the emulation environment. PearPC is one such emulation environment that has been around for a while but is still not quite there and has that OpenSource feel to it, otherwise known as hard to install and get working. Another option available is CherryOS that provides a similar emulation environment. I went to the CherryOS website earlier today and I was able to look at a few demonstration videos and screenshots of the emulation environment in action, however I just had a look again and the site seems to be missing all its contents. I can say that it looked quite impressive and looked quite easy to install and get running so might be quite a good option for all those PC users who envy the Mac community (you know who you are). I am guessing that they are just updating their site so have a look for yourself in a couple of days.
