Comments on: How I am spending the next hour or two… http://www.geardiary.com/2008/12/15/how-i-am-spending-the-next-hour-or-two/ Everyone can understand technology; sometimes it just takes a little translating.

While it certainly isn't in the same league as my new macbook (or your awesome new MBA) it does run quite well. Instillation was pretty straight forward although I had to start over at one point because I did something wrong (not sure what but it worked the second time) and everything is working properly except the camera. Whie I can't stand the tiny and limited trackpad (multitouch has spoiled me) the experience of using the OSXWind is pretty darn nice! And you can't beat the price. And to Wayne's comment yesterday- it is certainly more "appropriate" and "legal" to purchase a copy of the OS before heading into this territory.

My toilet, ejector pump and mini-van have other ideas however, and have taken about $1500 from the fund... :( I love my MBP, and if I can, plan on purchasing a new one in the next few months.
