Love your CherryOS screenshot.

You might not want any screenshots of PearPC having problems (OpenGL, networking, etc.). Focus on the positive.

Will you make this webpage a news page and add additional pages of maybe archived screenshots, links, etc.?

I'd like to see a list of Mac OS applications that either do or do not run on PearPC. Maybe that would work as a new thread on this forum. i.e.

Works: Office 2004 Test Drive, ...

Doesn't Work: Warcraft III, ...

Even if it does work, it'll be too slow (unless you have a 10+ GHz A64 :D ).

It works in FireFox. Haven't tested it in anything else, but maybe by accident the link doesn't work in M$IE? Also I try to include lots of Alpha Channel PNGs in my site just because Internet Explorer is the only browser that gets confused with those.

It took my a loooong time to make a how to on installing PearPC. This might be the first complete how-to that considers nativecdrom support. So if you want to know how to install PearPC without having to make an .iso, just read my guide. :D

Congratulations on that decision. I hate IE too.

BTW how do you create alpha channel PNGs?

Alpha Channel .PNG's are .PNG's that have a transperancy layer in them. For example, you know the way that Mac OS icons have beautiful shadows and semi-transperancies? Mac OS icons are actually based on alpha channel .PNG's. They've got more info on PNG's here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PNG

Your site is good and everything, but the PearHD file is all wrong. Please do something about it.

I like your site, but it looks like you need some better hosting. I can offer you some free hosting with unlimited bandwith (not over like 119 megs of bandwith....lol) and like 500 megs of storage (no illegal stuff) and a subdomain of my site zaxgames.com (i know it sucks, i havent had time to work on it). So you could have like pearpc.zaxgames.com. Contact me on aim or yahoo if your interested and i can set you up with an ftp.
