you lost me at "We Will Use Windows..."

LOL is right. That comic says it all.

I was a latecomer to the iPhone, not b/c of antipathy toward Apple (I've bought thousands of dollars worth of Apple products since my first Classic II), but because iOS seemed to be basically a kiosk. You can go only where they want you to go. I understand, I guess, the need for a streamlined...

I haven't built a Hackinbox for quite awhile. Probably five years. My main box, specs in sidebar, runs High Sierra fine. But I wanted to move to Mojave recently b/c of compatibility issues on some key software I regularly use. Bought a Radeon Pulse RX580 for Metal support; long story short...

hehe. didn't think i was alone in using the INDISPENSIBLE Img2icns app. --> one of the reasons NOT to upgrade to Catalina.

a thought if you haven't already tried: you may want to double-check your Motherboard specs, specifically those involving your your STORAGE/SATA inputs. if you have several of those ports, some of them may NOT support ATAPI, i.e., they're for storage only. Drives connected to your Intel Chipset...

thanks for your reply. no, I never did solve it. no help from this board. but that's not unusual in the 7+ years i've tried to get help here. anyway, i'm still on Yosemite on my main drive. the Sierra install, i guess i'll consider it a long-term project. the reason i sought help here is that...

I had Lion, which was probably the best mix of mackintosh and Mac OS X ever (for me), until I upgraded to Yosemite a couple years after it came out. I've been on Yosemite since. Recently, I tried to install Sierra (NOT High...

CaptBobJ - I had zero luck w/any of the Tonymac tools, so I migrated to CLOVER. Since then, I've upgraded a few builds to Yosemite using CLOVER, including my everyday rig. CLOVER has a bit of a learning curve, but what I learned helped me better understand the shortcomings of...

The man is right. Getting Clover to Boot up on my ASRock H97m-ITX/AC wasn't nearly as facile as doing it on my ASUS H97i Plus. I generally avoid ASUS because, for some blithering idiot reason, they refuse to add a keyboard command to bring up a boot menu, unlike Gigabyte and ASRock. No idea...

Hi, Thx for this. I have a question on your (very thorough) instructions to flash VROM bios. The setup I want to use this on is an HTPC. My HTPC is connected to my HDTV. The HDTV's native resolution is 1360x768. On bootup, the screen resolution is defaulting to 1024x768. However, once I go...
