Talk with SloDave and see what he can do for you.

Joe, although I'd be tempted to call BS as well they may be correct.

He was told it was not possible with his particular machine.

Apple employ a chip on their MB's, without it OS X will not (without a hack) install on a an Intel based machine.

They did that to specifically prevent people from buying a copy of OS X and installing it on a Dell, Gateway etc...

So while the guys may not have known their a55es from their elbows it is plausible.
