The boy is looking into his "dream laptop". He is leaning towards a Mac laptop and says he wants to do Windows XP via Parallels or whatever. Got me thinking about emulation again.

Awhile back I managed to get Mac OS 7.5.5 running on my 433 HP laptop via Basillisk II. You basically make a disk image and then use Basillisk to access it, copy over and install Mac OS 7.5.3 and then upgrade that to 7.5.5. It was fun to mess with, but I couldn't get the networking going, and without internet access, crap just isn't as fun as it could be.

Anywho, found reference to another Mac emulator called SheepShaver which can allow you to run up to OS 9.0.4. Hmmm.

The bad thing is both emulators require a ROM image.

Also, was thinking about a Hackintosh - shoehorning Mac OS X__ onto a non-Apple Intel puter. Hmmm...

so funny. when you start talking Mac stuff I have no clue what you talking about!! Might have to get into it one day.

Trust me - I know almost nothing of a MAC. I have owned two, but they both had "problems" and I didn't have enogh knowledge or patience to get them sorted out, so I parseed them off.
