i'm not sure if it would really be illegal to make it run on pc hardware... just because a licence agreement asserts that it is illegal doesn't make it so. According to Section 2, Paragraphs A and C of Apple Computer Inc. Software License Agreement for Mac OS X . . . 2. Permitted License Uses and R...

If you were ahead of me me at a til paying for £1.76 worth of goods on plastic, I would have made my feelings known - never mind the shopkeeper.

With regards to concealing porn (or anything else your girlfriend/boyfriend/spouse would not approve of) on your PC, might I recommend a handy little program called Dekart Private Disk. With this program, you can create password protected encrypted disk images. The disk image appears as "yourch...
