Macs

August 22nd, 2005

Imagine the geek excitement of an er… friend of mine when news burst out all over the internet that there was a leaked copy of Apple’s Mac OS X being bittorrented all over the place and running on x86 PC hardware.

How could I he have possibly resisted downloading said software for ‘evaluation purposes’.

A DVD image is a hefty thing to download, so two days later he was one big file better off, but had no idea what to do with it. Some reading later revelaed that extra software was required and a further days worth of downloading was embarked upon.

Add in another day to download the correct software and he was ready to test drive his new PC-Mac.

He starts up the OS X and instead of a nice Mac interface, there’s a full screen picture of a naked guy bent over pulling his arse open*.

Fantastic. Thanks internet hoaxers for the four day long build-up to the biggest software-based anticlimax ever. My friend is incredibly disappointed.

* - Yes, the goatse guy
