That's not exactly correct Meshach,


There are indeed mac emulators that run on PCs.



Kat, have a look at http://www.macwindows.com



And from that page, here's a list of them at:


http://www.macwindows.com/emulator.html#Maconother


There's also stuff on Mac on UNIX and BeOS in there.



...and about the MACE project (freeware)

Here's a page of reader comments on Mac Emulators running on PCs.

I can't vouch for any of these because we develop on both Mac & Win 

hardware.  But this would appear to be an inexpensive way to go.  Or 

just spend a few hundred on a used iMac.  The new iMacs are about to 

start shipping so there ought to be some used 1st generation iMacs 

showing up for sale cheap, and they're all G3s.  Those are great 

machines; we've even served with them and seen performance equaling 

servers costing many times as much.
