No, you're right, there are hardly any good games for the Mac - but why would you need them when you can buy consoles for such a pittance? I still have a dream that one day Nintendo (or Sony) will do an NGC(or PS2)-on-a-card system and I'll be able to pop it into my Powermac and blaze away merrily, but it hardly seems likely.
As it stands, Powermac + Playstation 2 = have your cake and eat it.
...except for "On Her Majesty's Secret Service", which is actually rather good. Sure, Connery LOOKS good, but the Bond films he stars in are absolute DRIVEL.
Lazenby may be slightly cheesy, but at least the man can FIGHT!
King Solomon's Mines is a fine, fine book by H Rider Haggard that hugely predates Indiana fucking Jones. that there's never been a decent version filmed is merely the fault of the studios involved. I'd recommend the book to anyone.
As far as Indiana's concerned - enough already! Raiders was a really enjoyable film, Temple of Doom was abominable, Last Crusade WORSE etc etc etc
Well, I spent three years at the University of Westminster, and never used a PC once. I used Pine to do my email via a VT100 emulator on a Powermac, Excel for graphing most of my data and Quark Xpress for writing my reports.
If there's something that Unix (well, Solaris) servers and Mac clients can't accomplish together in higher education, I never tripped over any of them during my degree.

Eh? 1440x900 isn't the size of anything except certain widescreen TFT displays.
Widescreen SD is 720x576, HD is 1920 x1080 - where does 1440x900 fit in?
definitely

...but only when Israel is destroyed.
America COULD have less...
you stupid stupid fucker
I don't really know what happened there, but to finish the comment (and have it make sense):-
G4 @ 1Ghz = >20W
G3 "Gobi" @ 1Ghz = 8W
which would YOU prefer in a laptop?
Don't forget that the G3 "Gobi" is supposed to use 20W at the same speed...
The G3 is a fucking GREAT laptop chip.
"The first three Star Wars movies were good"
Hang on a minute, Return of the Jedi was GOOD?
"So no Nazis then?"
They're going to replace Nazis with Israelis.
They had to find someone that EVERYBODY hates.
it IS bad spelling
I just can't watch the original.
"don't look that good on a 42" plasma display."
NOTHING looks good on a plasma display except flight arrival times. Plasma displays are bloody awful.

On the subject of Indiana jones, can you explain to me exactly what happens with Indy and the submarine? it's baffled me since I was a boy...

"spelling is arbitrary"
No, there are rules. You just don't understand them.
That article was one of the most ill-informed, paranoid and pointless things I've ever read. I hope Americans don't take crap like this seriously.
certainly, but you can't fit a shotgun in a desk drawer
RISCOS, I understand...
handguns are illegal in the UK
nope
he isn't even a comedian...
if you really want Apple to develop something for you, don't tell them how poor you are first.
It kind of acts as a disincentive for these corporate types...
