Well all of my friends are on vacation and we just got back. I'm so bored that I took on the quest of turning my Acer (Windows XP) laptop into a MAC. Really I thought it would take a while but it is just about done after only a few hours. And surprisingly it's still pretty fast even with all the stuff I've downloaded. (iTunes, Safari, Quicktime, and Yahoo widgets) It actually is starting to look like a MAC. I had to custom make the background to get the MAC style toolbar background to show up though.

Here's a picture of my desktop:


^ just so you know it's a little fuzzy since it got resized.

Tell me what you think, all comments and criticism are greatly appreciated.

Wow! How did you do it? I think I'll buy an Acer.

You wouldn't have a Windows Movie Maker but iMovie instead.

I know, I'm not done with it yet. I just thought I'd post my progress here.


Really you can change any computer to look like a Mac though. It just takes some time.

You can get it transfered to your computer.

Nice.

If you're talking about iMovie then yeah you could, but that's illegal. I won't be doing it obviously.

Yeah, I've read about that. Could we keep visiting this site more often? Let's head to the games everyone!

Hey, I've been coming everyday and I try to post as I much as I can. I need you guys to help out too. You and Josh rarely ever post anymore now.

Ok, fine. I'll start in the games. Josh, come on!

Well here it is now, tell me what you think:

Sorry, I had to save it in a .tiff file so it made it blurry. It is actually very sharp and clean looking.

HELLO! It looks so much better!

Aweeesome you need to show us how to do that!

Haha, actually the last one was my Mac but I can make computers look like Macs and run a bit faster. I wasn't able to take a picture of what it actually looked like, but it looked almost like a real Mac before I got the real thing.

Love your ATM wallpaper.

Me too!

Thanks guys, it took me quite awhile to make it (Yes I made it, well everything but the Reveille icon in either of the bottom two corners and the ATM text. The orb, matte background and all that is my doing though.) I actually just realized that the ATM part on Reveille (on the bottom right hand side) is backwards. I'll fix it later.

You did nice work!

Did't notice that.

Hey, Jeremy. Not to go off topic or anything, but I think we should make it a rule that there should be no one word posts.

It's kind of true!
