Plenty of people out here using OS X on their G3s... including me - G3/266 with 160M RAM. Just put a 20G disk in there. It runs iTunes, Safari, an ssh session, a web server and 2 IRC bots on it... all runs very well. Although I did put MySQL on it the other day and it didn't do many queries per second:)
Anyway, where does it say the support's been discontinued? Or is implied by the need for built-in USB? What if I have a USB card? (which I do)
If you listen to the stream in XMMS, you can set option "Save to Disk" in the options for the Ogg Vorbis input plugin.
Bought it, completed it, got the expansion pack

Rune for Linux Review
·
· Score: 2, Informative
I ordered Rune 2 weeks ago and it arrived a week ago (and since I'm in the UK, that's pretty good!) I have avidly played through it in the past 7 days and here is what I think:
- Initial impression was - sweeet, nice graphics, cool weapons and a decent(ish) plot.
- Unfortunately there is too little variety in the creatures you meet - you spend about 4 hours of it just beheading zombies - and when you can't find a sword - that gets very frustrating.
- Lack of variety of attacks was also a bit dull. Need some special combos or something. However I did like the rune idea to get cool attacks, makes up for the lack of combos.
- Some good puzzles to get round, but not so hard as to bore me, but some were too simple (like being able to strafe round the edge of big swiping blades, instead of the jumping them)
- Expansion pack (same price as game) is a mere 70Meg install, with a bunch of extra maps and a couple of new multiplayer games. Whilst cool, I feel a little conned out of my $30. But I only installed that bit today, so maybe there's some surprises waiting.
Overall a good game, but maybe not worth the cumulative $72 I paid for it. It was my first commercial Linux game, and I'm sure it won't be my last. Thank goodness Loki are still around!
