    Get required components: fertile ground, apple seed, water, fertilizer

    Plant apple seed in ground.
    Add water and fertilizer at regular intervals.
    Remove weeds at regular intervals.

    Eventually, you'll have an Apple.

    Paying to build a Mac from scratch? That's like buying parts and building a Fiat.

    I hate to have to be the one to break this news to you, but if you're buying a fiat, parts are all you're getting.

  3. What next? A Mac logic board in a Mac case? by dpbsmith · · Score: 5, Funny

    Wow, this is so exciting... first a PC board in a Mac case, now a Mac board in a PC case.

    How long before someone takes a G4 Mac, removes the logic board from it, puts it back, and put up detailed step-by-step photos on a Web site showing what he or she has accomplished?
