But 3D conversion is superb.)

If your interested, here are some links to the pertinent information:

The most current detail:  My kids got me Snow Leopard for my birthday.  My husband has ordered a Dell Mini 10v Nickelodeon edition netbook, suitable for converting into a Hackintosh.  It’s white with green slime, hereinafter referred to as “Ecto 1″.  It comes this week.  I’ll let you know how the Hackintoshing goes.
