yeah, i knew you could get darwin, but I have linux and I dunno if there 
would be any advantage of using darwin for x86. do you think if we asked 
apple very nicely they would make Aqua available under the GPL? we could 
hack it to bits make three thousand versions and it would be so fun. I 
just wanted to try it out so i could learn it.

i thought vmware may have emulated x86 only, but you can get it for PPC 
to emulate x86 and it's only fair that we can do that to. Oh this unfair 
world.

i was hoping there might be some other product that could do it, maybe 
someone on here had done it before. Like MOL, but for x86.

Oh well. Thanks anyway.
