Bingo.. I love the fact that people have hacked things to make Hackintoshs, and I love playing with my machines to see what you can do.. RIght now, for example I am online sharing my hacked iPhone's internet connection sat on the beach in Jomtien, Thailand..
But when I retired from full time programming I switched full time to Macs from any other flavour of machine because I was so sick and tired of actually having to spend time getting PCs to "do stuff". This is not a dig at PCs per se, but the beauty of Macs is two fold.. You can do cool geeky technical 'unixy' stuff if you wish, but you can also choose a path of just using them as 'The Steve' intended..
Because I still program I obviously have dev machines that I pull apart and frak about with and I would consequently not use day to day for Mail and other mundane stuff for fear of losing that data. However, my primary Macs are completely vanilla because that way I have a machine that works and is near as dammit 100% stable.
I'd love to have time to play with a Hackintosh, but I'd only do it as an academic exercise, not as a conscious choice as my main machine *if* I wanted to use Apple Computers, which seems to be the reason that most are considering these machines.
