Macs are ONLY good for video editing to my knowledge.. This is what is known as "flame bait". Macs are great for a lot of things but sadly they've got the short end when it comes to games. As a big Mac Fan (and ex-Mac Developer), I hope Apple can figure out a way to solve this problem but I'm not holding my breath.

And Mac games are doing pretty good these days and there are some publishers that require a Mac and Win version of the games they publish. (for example garagegames. www.garagegames.com ) If I had the money I would buy Mac rightaway.

I personally like PC, and I know very little about mac... but I do know that despite how zippy macs always were, PC abilities finally caught up with and surpassed mac capabilities.... they both have their merits, but I think it's only a matter of choice at this point with computers. But since GS isnt available on Mac, what good is mac anyway?

Quote: Macs are great for a lot of things Yeah, like setting a pot of fake flowers on top of the monitor that accents your eyes so well...and... Until Mac makes a concerted effort to target the home consumer (which they haven't and never really have even looked at) it doesn't make too much sense in investing a lot of time and money into Macs. Right now Apple doesn't care to play games...so not many people care to make an effort to support Macs (Linux/Mac ports are almost always an after thought). Then again...it could just be that Apple is afraid that if they worked to open up their computers to gamers the truth would come out regarding Macs... Would they really fair too well in a 3DMark test against a comparably priced PC? Anywho...Blender, Photoshop and the GIMP are not ports to Mac they are ports to Windows. Blender and the GIMP began life as Unix (Linux) applications and Photoshop was out on Apples first. Virtual Worlds - Rebuilding the Universe one Pixel at a Time.
