I made a nice Christmas present for myself – new lens Canon EF 100mm F2.8 Macro. Very happy with the results of the first test. Good for portraits and for closeups.

I can confirm that MAC OS X Snow Leopard works just fine on a PC based on ASUS P5Q-VM motherboard.
Computer:
Installation of MAC OSx
Remark: I select which OS to boot via BIOS by pressing F8 during initial computer startup. No need to bother with various settings in boot loaders.
Many thanks to all the people who made it possiblle and who shared their experience in various forums and blogs.
So if you have similar setup and want to build a Hackintosh yourself, you’ll need the following:
– NAWCOM boot CD : http://prasys.info/2010/10/nawcoms-bootcd-the-sucessor-to-empireefi/
– MAC OS X Snow Leopard installation DVD (you are expected to buy it, e.g. at Amazon)
– Sound driver: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=161430
– Compatible computer
– PC keyboard works with MAC but the keys work differently. Most annoying one is that Alt is used on MAC pretty much as Ctrl is used on PC, i.e. copy/paste is Alt+C/Alt+V on MAC with PC keyboard. You can change that by using DoubleCommand utility
– By default you’ll get read-only access to Windows NTFS drives (FAT32 works with read/write). You can use freeware NTFS 3G driver (note there is a commercial version available from the same vendor)
– There are MAC versions of Skype, FireFox, Filezilla available – they work just fine. And OpenOffice too.
