The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW) has a great article about running Apple OS X on x86 hardware (a Dell Optiplex to be precise). You can read it here, where you’ll see how incredibly difficult doing stuff like this can actually be. Sure it’s pretty straight-forward in the end, but these are the kind of punches you have to roll with in the computer world. So appreciate your Systems Administrators, will ya?

My favorite part?

Absolutely hilarious. Victor is a great writer. I love his style…
