It only takes a week to boot.

If this has been posted, I apologize!

It is point less of course since you cannot use it. However, I think it is cool to try to do if you have time...

"Don't you have better things to do with your time?
No."

"So what's next?
Resurrecting my Mac II (68020 with FPU) in order to get an even slower machine booting OSX."

Looks like someone doesn't have a girlfriend.

I believe 'danamania' is actually a girl, even though it sounds masculine with 'dan' being the primary syllable.


Not too bad for a 50KHz emulated machine.
First there was man, then there was Macintosh

Maybe I should try out OSX on my old 7200/120 with its wopping big 1mb VRAM and 32mb RAM. Lol, I doubt it would even fit on the 1.2gb HD.
MBP 2.16ghz 15"
iMac G5 1.6Ghz 17"

One week to boot! Crazy! And I thought my wife's 600MHz G3 iBook was slow! That only takes half a week.

This is a classic, though. Kind of like that 4-floppy RAID someone built on an early iMac.
