One would hope a bankruptcy wouldn’t delay an order is, as seems likely, Apple has a legitimate claim. But you never know what can happen in a bankruptcy, as these past few months should make clear.

Ya know, I have a long history of hacking computer hardware and software to do things not originally intended by the manufacturer -- going back to my KIM-1 in 1976 and a copy of Microsoft BASIC 6502 on cassette tape.

So I can easily imagine that, if I didn't have Apple hardware these days, but instead had some generic x86 hardware sitting around, that I'd try to make OS-X run on it.

I admire the hacking spirit (in the original old sense of "hack"), and proudly call myself a hacker in that sense.

But I would never go past that limit, and:

1. Manufacture and sell Hacintoshes.

2. Claim righteousness while doing so.

That's where I think Psystar is out of line. And deserves to get slapped down hard.

This stalling routine is just crap. They deserve to die and will eventually.
