hackintosh

a PC-clone that has had its operating system replaced with OS-X, making it effectively a cheaper, upgradeable Mac able to interface with most PC peripherals.

If that new lightweight Dell has the grunt to run OS-X, I might have to get one as my hackintosh at home.

Mackintosh's Corollary

Related to Lloyd Webber's Law Of Temporal Positioning. The law states taht people who arrive at a theatre after their performance has started will always have seats in the middle of a row, causing as much annoyance for the other theatregoers as possible.

The Lyttleton Theatre at the NT (London) seems to know which theatregoers will be late, and invoke Mackintosh's Corollary on purpose.

Basically the greatest math teacher in the history of mankind. Could, and would, teach the entire continent of Asia blindfolded with one hand tied behind his back and still have time to spare. Possibly taught Asians math.

Mr. Mackintosh is the LORD!
