When IBM sold the Thinkpad line to Lenovo, Apple got more Thinkpad engineers

than Lenovo did. At this point, you might say that an Apple is more Thinkpad

than a T60.

I

went with the T60p because I was not convinced that Apple got their

hardware

issues squared away - I was moving to Egypt and didn't want my machine to

croak.  But in the back of my mind was was concerned that I was not going

to

like OSX and I'd be stuck with it.

About two months ago I was a bit bored and thought I'd try out OSX, so I

downloaded a copy (yea, I know... It's gone now though), installed, and

tried to live with it for a few days.

I actually wrote up my install procedures here:

Scroll down to tsservo

And my initial thoughts on it here:

Before someone gets on me for downloading it, it's been deleted now - and

sorry, I won't help anyone find the ISO to download.  Gotta find your own,

it's like a rite of passage.

But by going through this, Apple has gained me as a customer.  This little

exercise taught me was that I actually like OSX and could use it for an

extended period of time - If only Apple sold OSX for everyone else because

I'm still not sold on their hardware.

OSX on a thinkpad?

More details please.

ISX running on a Thinkpad would suit me fine.

I know I've heard discussions of how to install Windows on the new Intel

Macs (but no convincing "why")

technology is the answer, what was the question?
