Mac Users Identify Yourselves!

Count me in as a Mac man. In 1982, I taught my classmates and teachers how to use the Apple IIe's the disrict had jsut bought. They weren't all that different from the Vic20 I learned on at home. :)

Right now, I only have a Mac at work (G4/667 Powerbook, 1 GB RAM. OS 10.2.8) and a kit-bashed Pentium III at home. Hopefully the new year will allow me to buy a G5 tower, and leave me enough cash to upgrade my PC to P4 to play games. :)

I'm a Mac user at Home... I've had the same trusty Power Mac 7500 since it was new. Upgraded to 400Mhz G3, gobs of RAM, better video card, and a huge 4GB hard drive. ;)

I plan on either getting a G5 or a Powerbook after Christmas... if finances hold up. w00t!

Update on the RAM issue: I bought 256mb of PC133 Kingston Valueram at Officemax for $35 (half off of their regular price of $70). There's a mail-in rebate for $15 too, which will bring it down to $20, but I'm not counting on it. Installed it today and everything's working fine...

Panther (OS X 10.3) comes out on Friday. The Apple Remote Desktop client is built into the OS, now. We ought to be able to make an OS X ARD D&D game....complete with iChat AV...now THAT would make the papers ;)

Having just upgraded to OS 10.2.8 two weeks ago, could you give me more info on the ARD? Sounds like just the thing I need to keep on gaming :D

I'm not clear on why ARD is suitable for gaming via the 'Net. Would you have the DM monitoring the desktops of the players or something? I'm not sure I want to let anyone have that much control over my Mac.

There are other solutions out there that don't cost $299. :)
