well my question would be where are u obtaining a mac os x?

edit: sorry I didn't mean to ask where I could obtain a copy
it was just a simple question of mocking.. cause I don't think u can buy a mac os unless u have a mac .
real sorry. delete me...

XtremeMaC, plz stay on topc, if u wish to ask a personal question then use the pm feature.

RaidenX, Mac osx will not run on a pcs archetechture.....however running an appliucation like Virtual PC within Windows and then installing OSx on that might be effective for your needs.

You can't run Mac OS X directly on a PC.
However you CAN install it in PearPC witch is a program like VMware and Virtual PC. It is slow but it work.
You can get it here:
http://pearpc.sourceforge.net/

Here is a great forum that can help you get it working:

after a few minutes i found a torrent name called "Emulador PearPC + Mac OS X 10.3.4 instalado en imagen de disco (en inglés)". of course i will not put the .torrent file but this shows it is possible with PearPC because in the info i found a screenshot from the PearPC web site (note that u will need to run mac os x from a windows system)

Actually it appears you are wrong... Google Quark, I doubt the first result will be some old Quake editor. More likly, it will be the program that I was talking about.

At least your post made me laugh.
