That is not 100% true. But it is a true-ism. The history surrounding the Norsemen, a.k.a. the Vikings, was written by the monks that regularly got their asses kicked by the Vikings. That is why, to this day, they have such a bad reputation. The losers got to write the history and make themselves look put upon.
I am a fan of the Mac. I have only purchased one computer, first generation G3 desktop, 1998. (Before that I used family and school computers. Never needed one till grad school. I still didn't really need it.) One of the reasons that I got it was that it was such a huge leap - I had been shopping (on the fence) for a computer for about 3 years. I almost got one of the PowerComputing Mac clones.
I don't need a new computer. Since I code for a living I sit in front of a W2K box all day. I just use my home computer it to surf and email now. But I will get a dual 3ghz G5 when the 64 bits are fully unleashed in the OS and apps. Then I will probably start playing games again - until it is too long in the toothe to play cool games, like mine is now.
I wonder how many other people their are like me that are holding out until there is a huge change.

I do. My desktop on openSuse 12.1 is KDE you fool.
I followed the link for the Taco story and it has already been updated with this story here.

MacPlay has both Fallout & 2 for OSX. There is no Fallout2 for OS9 - but there is a very hard to find Fallout for OS9.
