I've been quite amused by the continuing theme of conversations I've had with a number of OZgolf members in recent times. They all go something like this...
Anonymous OZgolf member: "Hi Courty, can I ask you for some advice?"
Courty: "Sure thing, go for it"
Anonymous OZgolf member: "Before I start, if any word of this gets back to the forum, I'll deny it unconditionally."
Courty: "No problems, what can I help you with?"
Anonymous OZgolf member: "I'm considering getting a Mac..."
...and so on it goes. No word of a lie, I can recall at least 4 conversations which have started the same way.
So next time there is an OZgolf gathering, have a look around, because without doubt, one of the people in the group is a closest Mac admirer/ user.

Get yourself a Mac Mini to use as the HTPC. It'll do the job out of the box.

Hypothetically speaking.... you can actually get Mac OSX to install on a PC.
Nice Mac there too. 20 or 24"?

I think someone has only recently got it to work (with much customisation). However, you can run Windoze natively on all Intel Macs (either boot directly into Windows, or run it under emulation). Originally Posted by talbo

I thought this must have been the place to see all those 'Mac/PC' adds. They crack me up!

Sorry, swore I wouldn't do that.
I'll allow them to do so when they feel comfortable enough to admit what they really are.

BTW the Mac Mini is going end of life - don't know if that'll bring the prices down though.
If you do want to make the mini a media centre, see Endgaget
If you start out depressed everything’s kind of a pleasant surprise.
WITB: stuff.

There is massive hype surrounding the opening of the store. 5 minutes to go.
They just sent all of the staff on a run around the block yelling and screaming and carrying on - about 3 city blocks have jammed up.
Great marketing. I've never seen anyone queue up to buy a PC.Lucy Harris smart smart smart, Martin Harris dumb.
