... that mac port of fs2? I've begun thinking about getting myself a mac, so it'd be nice to know what you know if you know something.

FS2_Open should run on MacOS X IIRC (well maybe not under that name). Taylor is the person to ask though.

Personal anecdotes (especially about "converting" when the people being converted probably had no technical background) are a dime a dozen.
Science alone of all the subjects contains within itself the lesson of the danger of belief in the infallibility of the greatest teachers in the preceding generation . . .Learn from science that you must doubt the experts. As a matter of fact, I can also define science another way: Science is the belief in the ignorance of experts. - Richard Feynman

I once heard a story about a middle-aged woman telling her family "Well, Microsoft owns Apple… so I’m sure it has to work." in a Mac store.

oh, trust me, I've got some experience with PC's. about 13 years, at least. I figured I'd try something new for a change.

plus, I heard tv-out works bettar, which would be great seeing as how I have to use a third-party application to get my nvidia card to actually support the tv-out it was said to ship with...

plus, they run unix now, and I seem to get along quite well with that too.

Used to be a Mac user but switched.  I still think that Mac is a great platform, though. :nervous:

Anyway this might help:
