The irrational hatred of Apple and their products amazes me. I think it's ridiculous.


I don't get it either. Their products are solid and sell well. It doesn't make any sense for a developer to be a platform purist, that's a quick way to become obsolete and wind up collecting unemployment. In 10 years of software development I'd say 80% of all the APIs and platforms I've learned and developed for I could just ball up and toss in the trash as they aren't even relevant today.

I don't imagine there's any valid reason - other than lack of a developer support - why modern Mac's can't play the gamut of PC games. It's the same hardware nowadays.


especially when you can just boot into xp on the mac and play the latest titles, providing your hardware is up to par. I blame direct x and steam.

Hell yea. I know if I suddenly out of the blue had a business opportunity with some major mega corp and a meeting with top brass, I'd tell 'em to shove it! Absolutely! It'd be the most logical decision ever.

Are you managing Amiga Inc?


I wish I was. I'd release a bottom of the barrel PC with linux with a gnome theme that looked like work bench with UAE for $1,000 and amiga nuts would blow their wads and throw cash at me.
