I feel really bad having to ask for help especially since I am one of those people who should honestly know better.
I have this problem..
It's called a Mac.
I can't install FreeBSD on it (my preferred UNIX of choice), I can't find any practical purpose to keep it around AT ALL despite racking my brains in all the months that it has sat here, I can't even sell it for any reasonable amount of money - WTH am I supposed to do? I'm totally frustrated because this piece of hardware cost valuable money (enough to buy me two premium lights), and I basically have gotten near ZERO productive use out of it. I swear from now on I am going to stick to x86 systems, which I can beat the crap out of for years and find all kinds of nonsense to make them do. Last time I 'experimented' with alternative computing platforms (Sun UltraSPARCs) the same thing happened - ended up with a boatload of hardware that simply didn't work out and turned out to be impossible to dispose of.
Someone gimme a good idea quick before it gets turned into a discus.. the throw kind, if you get what I mean.
(the reason why I'm not installing Linux or other variants of UNIX onto the damn thing is because I am so tired and frustrated that I totally cannot be bothered to learn the intricacies a new OS. Those days, sadly, are LONG over - now it's just a damn job).
