BOSS: No, he would not have done this if he had not discovered a way to make money hand over fist from it -- but I cannot determine what it is.

ALEX'S COMPUTER: Apple has determined that you are attempting to run Apple software on unauthorized hardware. This violates the Apple terms of service. Apple will now melt your machines into a heap of slag. If you wish to continue using Apple software, please buy genuine authorized Apple hardware at your nearest Apple store.

BOSS: I think I may have figured it out.
