I've been hooked on this one twice now. Gone through it twice and am working on a third tine. I was never a huge fan of Bejeweled, but the RPGness of this title really works for me. I've spent more time on this game than Orange Box and Bioshock combined.
How odd. I've been using the G5-specific BonEcho builds as my primary for some time now. I'm simply not seeing the need to force quit. The 2.0 final G5 build has been pretty solid. I guess I'm just going to the wrong (or right) websites.:-)
There is a "jump" link labeled "Stories" that should appear near the top of the page. At least it does when I view the page with the styles turned off. Skips right over those 5 or 6 pages.
I'm in much the same situation. I too have a CS degree (from way too long ago) and I program on a Windows box for a living, but my work could just as easily be done on Linux or OS X. I keep a Mac at home because I prefer not to tinker with the hardware or the OS. (I can do it when forced to, but it's just not my favorite thing.)
My parents are novices and I've got them running Mac OS X. The support calls from them are minimal and mostly simple.
My Father-in-law is a retired IT guy who programmed computers when dinosaurs roamed the earth. He's got a Windows box and LOVES to tinker. He manages to get himself into trouble now and then and will give me a call to see if I can help. I can usually fumble my way through it but only thanks to Google, not because of any personal knowledge.

GOOGOL maybe?

Are you running on Intel?

Yup. I actually played one in a Pizza parlor in a small town in Penna. Yes, I am that old. :-)
Amen, brother. I've often felt the same thing.

Hmm, the one in my log that made me laugh the most--admittedly it was slightly hysterical laughter--was:

Yikes!
