What are you smoking and why are you not sharing with the rest of us?It's not even close to being on target.

BAH, there's a MUCH higher resolution version of that hanging around. I have an 1800x2141 version I found a while ago.

It will still cost me more money to purchase a Mac than to build my own. I'd lose overclocking and a lot of the other things I love about building new rigs.

Game Sprockets is some DirectX 5 comparable technology but Apple and the inventor had a huge fight over use of OpenGL and it died.We still don't have a joystick calibration central control panel on Leopard. Shame really.

Still, it is sad, we got OpenGL, OpenAL and developers all ship Wine/Windows exe packages masking as Apps.

Funny thing is- Mac has huge selection for "serious" and mature games. The click and shoot stuff is already on $500 PS3 output in pure 1080p HD resolution with 7.1 sound for a price of a high end graphics card.

That's exactly what happened. I just got rid of my last Windows box. I'm now strictly on Linux and Solaris. As for my rant, don't get me wrong I love the Apple look and feel and their apps are great. I just hate the proprietary formats. I've lost tons of documents because the files were in some stupid format - Ami Pro, Lotus, Wordperfect, Corel draw, etc. Its so bad that I just save everything as text and then format it just before printing. Unfortunately, I don't have that luxury with a lot of the music I own.
