The curse of Apple or rather OSX
I think I'm cursed when it comes to Apple, or more precisely OSX Dotdotdot

I have tried all 3 major operating systems, Windows 7 (and Vista before), Linux (Ubuntu) and OSX 10.5.x

Call me insane if you want but OSX is the most pleasing and beautiful OS for me to use yet I'm "denied" to use it even legally. Sure I will never get rid of Windows because I'm a PC gamer at core but for all that daily stuff like browsing, music and photoshopping etc. I would love to use OSX. Heck I even have original Leopard and Snow Leopard disks so I tried my luck with OSX86.

After half a year I managed to run OSX86 perfectly minus USB 2.0 which wasn't that much of an issues. But prolonged heat issues and only 512MB of VRAM eventually made me upgrade my ATI HD4850 to a ATI HD5770 making OSX86 not working in the process anymore. A Nvidia upgrade was simply not reasonable from a price/performance point of view.

So yeah I still have a laptop and that runs OSX perfectly, just my laptop is far more unconvinced to use then my desktop at home so I tried the next logical step, hooking my laptop up to my FullHD screen. Unfortunately, as perfect as OSX86 runs on my laptop it turned out the VGA Output is an utter mess and I found no way to resolve it.

Heck the last thing I did, was looking for genuine Apple Hardware but hell even the most cheapest Mac Mini with basically sucking specs I found on the net was around 700€ and I'm not yet completely retarded to shad out that much money just because I love the OS. For that money I could easily upgrade my PC to a Phenom II x6 and a ATI HD 58xx series card yet Apple only offers me a 1.4ghz dual core with Intergrated Graphics for it...

So yeah Apple I really want to become your customer when it comes to desktop PCs just you give me no reasonable chance to do so...

And posting this on EP will not change this I just felt like writing this^^

Don't get me wrong Windows 7 is an absolute masterpiece and beautiful to no end just there's something about OSX that makes my eyes just go "Ahh yes!" that I cannot replicate on Windows no matter what I mod^^'
