Just to help clarify things here - MOL does not require a Macintosh.  It 
requires a PPC processor.  This includes Macs (which are probably the 
largest, or at least best known, subset of PPC machines), the Pegasos boards, 
and quite a few other machines, some IBM servers, I think (RS 6000 series and 
the like).  As stated before, though, MOL will *not* run on PC (Intel/AMD/x86 
compatible) hardware.  MOL doesn't actually emulate the instruction set, I 
believe it mostly just provides an interface layer under the guest OS and 
runs instructions natively on the processor.  (You can probably find more on 
this if you search the list archives, there have been a bunch of different 
'can I run it on my PC?' type threads which may have gone into more detail.)
