“Okay, I Bought a Mac. Now What?” — Instructional DVDs for Macintosh Computers Released
Bradenton, FL (PRWEB) November 27, 2007
Help for the Computer Shy, LLC is pleased to present a series of instructional DVDs for users new to the Mac platform. These DVDs have been designed to enable both experienced Windows users and computer novices understand their new Apple Macintosh computers as quickly as possible.
“Windows computer users are understandably apprehensive about sailing into unknown waters,” said Help for the Computer Shy founder, Michael Gorzka. “Our series of Mac computer instructional DVDs have been designed to help users switch from Windows to Macintosh as quickly and easily as possible.”
The first three DVDs in this series are titled the following: Okay, I Bought a Mac! Now What?, Mac Computer Basics and Mac Computer Applications. These instructional DVDs may be ordered online at http://store.computershy.com for $ 19.97 each, plus shipping. Bulk discounts are available to libraries and other non-profit organizations.
“To the best of my knowledge there are no other instructional videos for Mac computers currently on the market,” said Ava Ehde head librarian at the Island Branch Public Library in central Florida.
Macintosh Computers have seen a surge of new users lately — it seems everybody wants a Mac. As reported in its June 2007 quarter revenue and profit statement, Apple shipped almost 1.8 million Macintosh® computers That represents a 33 percent growth over the same quarter a year ago and exceeding the previous company record for quarterly Mac® shipments by over 150,000.
“Apple computers are secure, all but immune from viruses and spyware, and come with an excellent software bundle unmatched on budget PCs. Furthermore, Windows programs can now be run on newer Mac computers,” said Gorzka. “We created these Mac computer instructional DVDs to help people take advantage of these enormous benefits.”
For additional information on the Macs for the Computer Shy line of instructional DVDs, contact Michael Gorzka or visit store.computershy.com. The first three DVDs in this series are available for immediate shipment. Additional Mac computer help titles are currently in production. Free updates to all programs will be available at www.computershy.com.

Osx86 – Mac OSX on PC Hardware
Building a fast & cheap Mac PC from hardware which works with OSX out of the box. For more info, please goto http://www.osx86project.org and look up the wiki on OSX86 to see what PC hardware will work with OSX. Also goto the URL above for questions concerning dual boot, etc.
Also see this great write up on a cheap $200 OSX86 machine here: http://www.i-hacked.com/content/view/202/42/
Only thing that needed help was the sound hardware, and even the Network card came up in OSX as an Apple device. My wireless also wasn’t supported, so no airport 
But – goto the OSX86 wiki, from what I’ve read there are several wifi cards that work! In fact in one of my more recent videos I show you can make a Belkin PCI card work as the Airport wifi hardware.
I’ve also tested my USB HP Officejet printer (w0rks perfect!)
My Sony Digital Camera (w0rks perfect!)
Burns DVDs / CDs
iTunes Works perfectly
Built in Firewire port? / cannot connect my digital video camera
An even Cheaper solution to building one of these is to use a Celeron w/ SS3
You will have to either have two disks, or partition your HD into two drives to make this dual boot setup I have work, then modify your windows boot.ini startup file so you can boot between OSX & XP like shown in this video.
Please don’t ask me how to make it work, or where to ‘find’ OSX86. It’s on torrentportal.com/torrentz.com (& virtually aLL the tOrrent sites) — the answers to your questions are in both the wiki and in the forums. This system (does not hang on hardware, etc.) it’s very stable once you modify kext drivers and remember to use hardware which is in the OSX86 wiki… See my other video on getting a Belkin PCI wireless card to work as an Airport & enjoy your hackintosh PCs!
BTW: MOrons. If I get another email telling me to pronounce it ‘OS TEN’ i’m going to puke on my Macbook Pro. I’ll say OS X if I want to, it sounds better and it’s a roman numeral it.
