I kid you not. Although I should point out it would be for the purpose of performing an autopsy, and not to flood the ebay market with fillings and other bits and pieces of memorabilia...

Every six months or so at least one of the newspapers carries a similar story that they're going to perform an autopsy, or that some new piece of evidence has come forward to prove that the Royal Family/British Government/Microsoft arranged to have her done away with for some reason or another. And each time the story comes to nothing. August is traditionally silly season in the British press.

Anyway, I'll hand you back over to the advertised-topic. ;)

Does this mean I'm not going to get my Mactel? :( *pouts*

I just...I need something to make up for the dozen Powerbooks that flew off my balcony last month. I thought this would be the thing that would fill that hole in my heart. *sob*

:p :eek: :D

It's too bad that Antec company does not make a cute polished steel case in Mac Mini size... *sigh*
 
Edit: Some one made my comment first - I must read to the end of the thread before posting.
 
I'm surprised that ebay has not cancelled the action.

It doesn't seem that the company has any right to sell those PCs woth OSX.4

Actually, as other have already mentioned (including myself) the auction has ended and the seller is no longer an ebay member. :cool:

Aside: that case...I can't decide if it's ugly or pretty. Part of me thinks it looks like a little refrigerator! :eek: :eek:

Critics thought that the G3 iBooks looked like a toiletseat they probably will think this thing if it comes out will look like a refrigerator!
 
I'm planning on selling Mactels to my customers, but it won't be pirated (they'll still have full Tiger licences bought from Apple, just with x86 disks). If anyone has any ideas on the legals of this, please PM me

Part of the questions everyone has is whether that will be possible. Everyone now is assuming that Apple will release OSX only to be able ot run on AppleMac brand computers, so you still may not be able to do this without breaking the user liscence (even if you have a full purchased copy for every one)....

but who knows, Apple could throw one of a hundred curveballs...

The license says you have to run it on Apple hardware. The only question, then, is whether your local jurisdiction enforces license agreements. Apparently most don't. Legalities aside, you agree to the license agreement, and what you are proposing is that you "agree" to something with no intention of honoring that agreement... which is a pretty karma-bruising way to live.

:D :D :D At least they had a good sense of humour.

I saw another system on ebay, going for £100 that claimed to be able to run Mac OSX nativly. Was a celeron something or other, bog standard spec - however it said that you had to provide OSX Dev Edition yourself..... If its a PC, without an OS, wouldnt that just make it a "PC" then not a "mactel"... lol

Seems people are on a roll with the 'Pentium4 in Mac Dev boxs' lots of excuses for ebay auctions going "OMFG AWSOME 1337R MACINTEL 4 SALE" and even the dev comments about its speed seem to be leaking through ^look at the quote^ "OMFG0R!! /\/\y P4 3Ghz ()wn0rz ur Dual 2.7 G5 hahah!¬!!".
