Hello, I am fepjr and have more than five Macs in my home. Four that are capable of using Tiger and six old ones that are not capable for it. They pile up over the years! Some of them come in handy though for various things.
Like linking it up to my Dish TV and being able to watch the news while working.

Lets see.. I have a B&W G3.. A Beige G3.. A 5500.. A Powerbook 1400 and a Powerbook G3 (mainstreet).. that's 5, and they are all in use.. there's also as many PC's in the house, but those collect dust most of the time

Sorry.. just thought I'd share that as my first post..

Mac OSX works fine regardless of where it comes from, including other computers, regardless of colors or X's!! Three of us in our family have done this, and it is easy, folks.

We have three laptops and two desktops, thank you very much!! Two children and one adult can easily use this many in my household!! We love our Macs. Down with Bill Gates.

I'm not entirely sure what you want to say. Are you urging people to illegally use OS X from another computer? I think you got this thread wrong - and are ignoring the board rules, kinda...

I have a question: if the OSX that came with your Mac is optimised for 'your Mac', does it means the retail one isn't as optimised as the one came with the Mac?
