Purely in the "for shits and giggles" category, I decided to try my hand
at a Hackintosh.

<shrug> And it just worked.

<http://www.UrsaMinorBeta.co.uk/#20080424.1>

Can't see what the fuss was about. It wasn't too happy with my video
card (nVidia 5200 Pro as I recall) as moving windows produced some
_very_ odd effects, and System Profiler crashes when you try to run it
but, essentially, it worked.

Now to wipe it and stick something else on.

I hope you washed your hands afterwards!

That's quite fascinating in an "ew" kind of way, like watching someone
who can suck in a length of spaghetti, cough and blow it out their
nostril.
