>> You can run OSX on a PC (check with RRR on that one)

Randy's one of the few people I know who've successfully gotten a
hackintosh to run stably but it was a lot of work. However, his was for
professional research (as someone that has "IT Security Engineer" in his
title) and knows the issues surrounding how *not* to run afoul of DMCA,
etc. So, I wouldn't recommend anyone doing that unless they have fully
researched how to stay within the law (Federal and State).

Another item that I thought of when I saw Dr. Cooper's email...check out
the Educational Discount for both Dell and Apple along with the warranty.
I'm pretty sure that Apple's warranty is more comprehensive and with the
educational discount you save a couple hundred.

This signature was created on a Mac...therefore it should look better than
other signatures but will cost you more and doesn't really work in the
enterprise.
