Well, I finally installed the new AvantGo beta that actually works with Palm OS 5, so I'm trying out posting from my new Sony Clie NX70V. So I have a new way to post (which hopefully means I'll post more). So lets see how this works...

Mac OS

Hi! Sorry, I don't think that's possible. Mac OS is only made to run on Mac or Power PC hardware, not Intel/PC. To run it on a PC someone would have to rewrite Mac OS to run on it. Of course if Apple did that they'd probably lose a lot of their hardware business, since pc hardware is cheaper for the equivalent power;).

You can check the web but I've never heard of anyone getting Mac OS to run on a PC. OSX is Unix based so if it was possible at all I think that would be the only one that could be. You might want to look into a cheap used Mac, or you can rent them from some places. It may be a good idea to try it out first, since it's a different interface and you may not like it (I've hated the damn things for YEARS;).)

There are windows emulators to run Mac software if you just want to run a program and not the operating system. You can probably find those on Download.com (http://www.download.com).
