I think you mean "psystar" ;)

You would be better off buying a used Mac. It will do all the normal things computers do. Just make sure it's an Intel based newer Mac or OSX 10.6 Snow Leopard won't load.

No, not legally.

Well actually Apple's EULA states that it has to be a Apple labeled computer. So all you need to do is get a Apple sticker and stick it on your computer case. He He :D

Sorry but I couldn't resist ;)

You should talk to Fryke about it. I think he has a Hackintosh
