As I stated in the post I also have a MacBook Air that still functions perfectly for development work. I would never recommend a Hackintosh as a developers sole computer. I also mention that I pursued this route because my gaming pc needs a refresh cpu/mb wise and this can be easily converted by dropping in my existing high end GFX card.

You are right about one thing though, it is a cautionary tale. I wrote it because I didn't see enough showing the pain involved.

In the article, you wrote you gave your MacBook Air to your girlfriend. I guess she doesn’t use it often and you have made separate user accounts?

As for the part about you wanting a gaming PC anyways, I had somehow missed that. (I have to admit I zone out whenever video games are mentioned.)

> seeing as my gaming PC was due for a refresh I figured I could give it a go and if it all went to hell, I’d suffer through the pain then move it to that role when the Mac Pro was ready.
