for the virtualization, the problem is the absence of the drivers for most of the pc hardware.... unless you happen to have a pc with the very few types of devices used in macs. You don't need to proof anything to buy it, but consider that: - it is expressly forbidden by the license to install on a non-Apple assembled hardware - you can't buy a cheap upgrade, but you need a full os install 10.5 + the snow leopard upgrade (i.e. i think there is no full 10.6 on the market) - you can easily find used mac mini's, if the 500€ new one are out of budget R. > -- > Regards, > - Graeme - > > > _______________________________________________ > fpGUI - a cross-platform Free Pascal GUI toolkit > http://opensoft.homeip.net/fpgui/ > _______________________________________________ > fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pas...@lists.freepascal.org > http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal > _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
