Who is the real Tonymac??

[chadthman]

i doubt he works at apple, but he is definitely skilled. And, I don't think MacMan and TonyMac are the same person. They don't respond to the forum in the same manner. TonyMac seems a lil happier than MacMan, nothing wrong with either, but I think MacMan needs a vacation. Lnx2Mac is a happy guy too.

I wondered if Tony was someone that was involved with Psystar and was so ripped about what happened that they decided to to do it for free, if they couldn't get paid for it.

I think your right on with this one. The time frames fit since about the time when Apple told Psystar to shut down in late 2009 early 2010, this website, tonymacx86, appeared (January 1, 2010) and if you look at this article:

Miami-based Psystar takes on Apple - Page 1 - News - Miami - Miami New Times

Describes Psystar headed by 2 people (TonyMac and MacMan).

"Robert Pedraza is a 24-year-old self-taught programmer with a thin frame, spiky dark hair, gleaming braces, and squinty eyes." (I say this is TonyMac)

"His brother Rudy is a year older and a quarter-foot taller. He counters the computer-nerd image with a half-buttoned dress shirt and an intense stare." (I say is MacMan)

What do you guys think?

You lot are all wrong.
The guys are actually ex DayStar Digital employees, which is why they have such an intricate knowledge about how Apple's software works.
Or maybe not...

Be a shame if he wasn't

Doubt it since DayStar Digital was during the pre-osx era and since that stuff is mostly gone now i dont think that it would apply as much since Apple choose to use the Next platform.

Psystar

This topic is good and some of the theories are awesome. However, I think Chadthman has it with Psystar, it ticks all the boxes.

On the otherside, I'm not hugely interested in finding out who they are as their identity is theirs and ours to protect, but you're both welcome round mine far a cuppa anyday lol!

ps... SHELDON LIVES!!

Agreed if that theory is true and they are connected to Psystar their identity should be kept hidden however much we all would like to know the truth. Maybe someday it will all come out in a documentry
