Hackintosh

I was on one of my favorite hardware sights and came across some post about loading Mac OSX on PC's.  So I thought I got some free time and it doesn't cost me any hardware to try out.  Wow I like it.  It took me 2 tries to get it installed I ended up using iDeneb 1.3 install package on a C2D e6600 on a 650I motherboard with 8800GTS 320meg video card using onboard sound and network.  The network is the only real issue I have as Apple doesn't officially support the product as of yet.  Now with their new introduction of Mac Books using nVidia hardware it should get better.  I have been looking at picking up a Mac mini to sit next to my monitor to support and learn the OS.  So far so good.

Barack Wins!

Wow! I went to vote 3 times yesterday the last time showing up at the polling place around 5 and getting out about 8:45 after news agencies had already call SC for Senator McCain. Gee thanks guys! I can't understand their fascination with trying to be the first to "call" a state. imbeciles at the media outlets wanting to create news for viewer ship and ratings revenue never mind American's exercising their rights as American's.

Gratz to President Elect Barack now lets get America growing again.

Demo Custom Stamped Putter

I received a demo putter from Chris over at Sunset Beach Golf. I picked a 34.5" Wrightsville with torch finish. Chris sent it to me completely wrapped in small cell foam packaging. It was packed so well it took me 5 minutes to get it out of the box and wrapping. All I have to say is WOW the torch finish is so much nicer to look at in person.  









 

Feel is really nice and it has a great click sound when the ball is struck.  I have only played 9 holes twice with the putter so I don't have the speed down completely with it.  The weighting on this putter seems to help close the face versus my Betternadi putter where it sits more open and stays open.  I have to give this one a thumbs up and now need to talk my wife into getting me one for Christmas.  The best part is having them stamp and paint fill what you want your putter to say.
