NO, but it means a SLAP in the face for the real Mac fanboys [:D][;)]

Now how to scratch of those "Intel inside, Idiot outside" bumper stickers from your car, hehe

Tell that to the people that do the graphics for most of the better looking games you play[;)]

The consequences for PC wargaming:

Apples have one great advantage over PCs. If you have 2 in the same room they can connect by simply plugging in a wire between the 2. ( I am sure it will soon be wireless).

To do this with a pair of PCs is hard work.

If you have an iMac or a lap top, people can play H2H whilst sitting in the same room. Ergo, the social side of wargaming returns.

Hmmm, nothing stops you from doing this with a PC.


Btw, I have no problem with Macs at all. I use a G3 Powerbook for surfing on the couch. Connected with an Airport card to a WinXP network [;)]

I would love to buy a G5 workstation one day. But for now they´re to expensive for me.

"Ergo, the social side of wargaming returns"[&:]
If I have people sitting in the same room, we will be playing board wargames, face to face, mano y mano. Screw the computer.
