Dimwhit said:So Mirthcard, are we keeping all the Mac discussion to this thread? That could get lengthy eventually. I vote we form a lobby, name you as President, and get Morrus to add a Mac-only forum.
Well, I'm not sure a Mac-only forum is warranted. After all, this thread only just now hit its second page. Let's see how quickly this thread builds and play it by ear for right now.
As for naming me President, I prefer MacDaddy

User circa 1997...
B&W 350mhz G3 upgraded to 1 gig of ram.
Donated old faithful to sons school when my tricked out Dual 1.42gig hit my doorstep...
Two weeks later the 'accident' happend on Apple's website... we all know what occurred then (I am only venting because I waited almost two years to see if I could get 4 gigs of ram... to find out I could have 8+ !?!?!).
Anyways... the only thing I miss from my wintel days is X-COM... and I would not go back even for that!
>edit< Since I mentioned wintels, GameSpy has had a Mac gaming article every once in while since spring or so. Up to the seventh and I have found them interesting.

I work on Macs. I have a half dozen or so seeing frequent use around the house and a HUGE number crunching away at FireWire stuff at work.
But I also own a Win box for gaming, 'cause, y'know.

Ye olde Mac vs. PC debate has reared its ugly head, over in the Off Topic Forum at wizards.com, feel free to hop in.

To sum it up, someone is upset that Quark 4 crashes in Classic mode all the time. Can you say "upgrade"?

The problem isn't with Quark, but Classic mode. There are certain things that cannot be run under Classic mode and require a seperate bootable Mac OS 9.
It's easy to set up. I don't like people blaming an OS or a function of the OS without researching the problem (Windows OR Mac OS).
