[QUOTE="Kokopelli, post: 191451"] OK, I am sorry. After a while I at least get a little weary of the endless "Macs are expensive" statements. That combined with the "i can't play my windows game" note sets me a little more on edge than deserved I guess. Some of us, maybe many of us, come to Mac-Forums to get away from those threads which proliferate like the locusts upon some other forums. I come here seeking discussion on Macs with other people who like and use Macs. By the fact that we all bit the bullet and made the purchase we all considered it worth the cost. (With some notable exceptions such as Avid6eek who, though he returned to windows, has continued to be a reasoned and polite contributor to these boards.) So seeing the whole "Macs are expensive" statement bandied about again automatically puts me in agressor mode I guess. :) It is a personal opnion and a valid one to have, but it just is not a topic that leads to polite conversation much anymore. Couch the statement in reasoning and flesh it out with some kind of justification and I would have been less... grouchy. Then the "My windows apps don't run on the Mac." You managed to strike upon the #2 flame inducing comment in the Apple world. If you had made a comment about your $50 Dell outperforming a $3000 Apple you would have done the trifecta. ;) I guess I do not find it a reasonable complaint that Windows software does not run on the Mac. You knew this coming in I realize and accepted the fact. Many of us have some Windows software we would like to run on the Mac. Some of us, though not me, want to run Windows on the Mac for that matter. We made the sacrifice or we have run VMWare or its ilk up to now. Intel Macs don't run VMWare, but again you seem to have known this in advance. So it should not have come as a surprie you con not play your game on the Mac. Whew, if you made it all the way through that let me apologize again. So I guess in my eyes this thread really was a flash point of elements that breed argument. I am not the cheeriest of people I grant but I genuinely like to help people. I saw "my few problems with my mac" and I thought something was wrong with it. Since we can not change the cost, make windows software work, nor shrink your Mac, what can we do for you? Oh and welcome to the forums. For the most part we are a friendly bunch. ;) [/QUOTE]
