I remember my college roommates with their fancy Mac Pluses; my college girlfriend with her hand-me-down Lisa that her father gave her because it was too old compared to his Mac SE/30; my very first Mac of my own, a Macintosh LC; my PowerBook 1400; my PowerMac G4 that was stolen when my house was robbed (but they left my home built PC which eventually became my first Hackintosh). My last Apple computer was a Titanium PowerBook 17" G4 that work bought for me. Currently, I have a MacBook Air 2011 that I got for free. Right now, I am swearing off any ARM based Mac computer, but I know eventually I will come around. That's the spell that Apple has over me.
I've been Hackintoshing for a while, and I think the community is stronger than ever. Getting a working system was easier than ever, then tweaking it to a nearly 100% stable and functional system was achievable thanks to the good folks here, especially pastrychef, CaseySJ and UtterDisbelief for EFI's, guides and advice. I built a system faster than the stock iMac for 1/3 the cost. And much more tailored to my needs.
It's sad to see this era coming to an end. But as they say, "all good things..."

Lovely collection
People are getting so upset about the present shift, but this post highlights a history that a lot weren't aware of or a part of.
