Well, I've had MacOS-X installed on my Mac for about 8 months, and I must say it has been nice to work with. It is stable, eligant, powerful, and also takes up almost a gig of hard disk space. But Apple has done alot of nice things with the OS, and it seems to now be gaining more support in the way of games and apps.
Strange, I've also noted this recent support increase, especially in gaming, but it's not just limited to OS X. I was talking to one of my PC owning friends and mentioned I had Deus Ex.
"Oh, must be a bit fiddley to play with a pad" he exclaimed. I'd also been talking about games on the PS 2. When I mentioned I had it for Mac he couldn't believe it. "I thought it was almost impossible to come by games, especially recent ones for a Mac."
"To be honest" I said "that was one of my initial fears as well. I thought after I finished college I'd eventually get bored of pretending I'm going to be a graphic designer and flog my Mac to get a top notch PC. Then I could get all the latest games and have productivity software all pre-installed for me, the best of both worlds!"
OT:In some other conversation (in another pub, same night), he mentioned how hard it was to come by disks for an Amiga. I mentioned that I bought about 20 disks from Argos not so long ago.
“But don’t they come preformatted for PCs?” he asked.
“Well yes they do, but I just reformat them.”
“But that doesn’t work!”
“Yes it does I have quite a few with South Park and Pulp Fiction samples on them. “What did you use?”
“Some PD Copying programme.”
“Didn’t seem to work when I used workbench CLI!?!” He said.
This confused me a bit, I hadn’t tried it recently in CLI myself but I don’t see why it shouldn’t work if the PD app worked.
