      If there's artificial intelligence, there's bound to be some artificial stupidity.

        I think a PearPC is an Apple that's just been sitting on its ass for years getting flabby.

          worse. it, from what i understand, does not implement the FPU properly so it is incredably slow.

          5 hours for the first CD of OS X.

            I got it to work on my office PC (P4 2400@2700), it took about 90 minutes to install, it helps if u deselect useless crap like the BSD subsystem and set the task to High priority. And I wouldn't say that it's extremely slow in use, Panther feels faster than on my G3@266MHz, that's for sure They've gotta get the network (it works only on Linux so far) and the sound working for it, but for such a young project I'd say they've done a damn good job.

            edit: oh, and AmigaBlitter, it doesn't really matter what vidcard u use for it, it has a generic driver...for the record, though, the Parhelia works fine@1024 w/32

              Once they get the network and such working I can then run Apple Remote Desktop from home. Combine that with SSH and I can get all my work hours in at home
