Infinite Mac OS X

tl;dr: Infinite Mac can now run early Mac OS X, with 10.1 and 10.3 being the best supported versions. It’s not particularly snappy, but as someone who lived through that period, I can tell you that it wasn’t much better on real hardware. Infinite HD has also been rebuilt to have some notable indie software from that era.

Spending time at the gym isn't the only thing that can help you build muscle. While putting in time at the gym is the first step, eating well also makes a major difference.
