I didn't find it all that easy to search the forums on insanely.mac but
I did figure out that what they're talking about is called 'Hackintosh'
and it is easy enough to google the term 'build hackintosh' and get some
pertinent links.
I have no intention of parsing Apple's EULA on their OS X software and
accept the legality of these efforts on their face. If you purchase a
copy of OS X, then it would seem to be fair use to install it on any
hardware you see fit. I don't see how having a G3 laying around is
significant to Apple's EULA.
I guess it never occurred to me that people would actually be interested
in doing something like this but I lack enthusiasm for OS X so it's not
something that I spent a moment thinking about. I know that I am not all
that interested in hacking a non-free OS since their is an abundance of
free OS's to play with but I would guess that there would be many on the
list eager to see your setup.
Good luck
Craig
