mac os on intel

New life for the old 'Star Trek' project - page 2 | CNET News.com: "Apple placed upon the project, each engineer would receive a bonus of between $16,000 and $25,000 if they succeeded. 'We worked like dogs. It was some of the most fun I've had working,' recalls team member Fred Monroe. Free of managerial meddling, the small team not only succeeded in getting the Mac's Finder to run on the PC clones, it also managed to get QuickTime and some of QuickDraw GX working, as well as the 'Welcome to Macintosh' startup greeting. Having met their deadline, the Trekkies collected their bonuses and took off for a well-deserved vacation in Cancun, Mexico. In their minds, they had laid the groundwork for a product that could save Apple by allowing it to compete head-to-head with the inferior Microsoft Windows on its own turf: Intel-based computers."
