Gaming Groups and their OS's

[olshanski]

I don't even own a computer. I'm dictating this and giving it to my secretary to post.

Having my secretary take care of all of my computer needs works fine, except that I have to have signatures turned off when she reads a thread to me.

My one Mac guy is also a PC guy -- has a couple of each at his house, I think. He'll be fine.

2/6 are Mac users, including the DM. One other player only has Windows 2000 (not XP or Vista), so support will be questionable.

In my old online group, I was the only one with a Mac. I still am. However, my daughter's laptop is a PC and I could use it for DDI/VTT if I wanted to. I could also load on bootcamp. So, Wizards leaving the Mac crowd out in the cold is irritating, but not a deal breaker for me.

Everyone in our group uses PCs, but one guy also runs LINUX ... not that that will be much of a matter soon...

I DM for group A; I and all 5 of my players in the group run Macs.

I play in group B, DMed by one of my group A players. Of the three players in group B who are not in group A, one is a Mac user, one is a PC user, and the third hasn't brought a laptop to the group in the two months we've been playing, and I haven't inquired

In Dallas, I'm the sole Mac user in my group. I keep hoping they'll see the light eventually, though.

The group I play with in Austin, however, is largely Mac-centric, with only 2 PCs to 4-5 Macs.

My poor little Powerbook G4 will be left out in the cold when the DI comes around.

Of the three married couples that make up my group, two of the guys are .NET developers. The other also uses a PC. The "Computer Jyhad" isn't Mac or PC. It's Gateway vs. Dell.

Other than people I've met through this board, I know how to contact exactly one person in the universe who uses a Mac for any reason whatsoever. One of my college buddies has an old high school friend I've met a few times who is a Mac enthusiast. I am not kidding. I've been trying to get a look at OSX since it was released and have yet to see anything other than a still screenshot on the Internet.

The last time I even saw a Mac in person was in 1999. The user was a publications guy who was the last hold-out in the group and soon to have it fiated away.

If I were going by anecdotal evidence, the entire, global Apple user base would fit in my living room.

I'm the only Mac user in a group of 7.
