True Gekko, but this ame is boasting that "it has the most versitle graphics engine since UT", if Diversions Entertainment is going to try and make a Graphics Engine the focal point of the game, then the Mac should be the first thing in their minds, remember no Buiseness with a Half-Decent idea of "eye-candy" would design their graphics engine on the PC only. They've done a few rough skectechs on a G4 for some of the "robot MOdels" i the game, so if the only thing needed is the coding, maybe some people who have used both system should star a copany that'l "port" games to the Mac market.

Believe me, Normally I wouldn't say that the Mac needs more games, but since alot of people use gams asa major part of their PC's, maybe Apple should start , offering more games, it'd get alot more M$ people to convert.

My Uncle is visiting, and this is an actual quote he made that I, personally think holds some truth:


"Bill Gates is just Hitler without the mustasche and Uniform."

Normally I would have taken offesnse to that, but after readuing about what Microsoft is trying to do, and is doing as well, they really are opresser's of free speach, and are trying to "force" the world into using ebverything as a Microsoft product. To me aside from "Mudering" people, they are basically doing everything over that was done in 1942 by the Nazi's, and are tyring to remove any trace of "Non-Microsoft" software from the market. This shares such a comparison with what the Nazi's did that it's extremley scary. The differance is, that people aren't dying from Microsoft's stupidty, but raher, the economy is dying, and while money may not be the most improtant thing in the world, it is, nevertheless, extremly important, if only to put fod on your table.

Persoanlly I think that if apple where to release " LIsenced Clones" of their systems running "Mac OS X", microsoft would have the tables turned on them extremly fast, and they would be losing money. The reason Windows is so popular is because Microsoft has offered it to hundreads of Computer Companies, and Apple hasn't offered "Mac OS X" to any other PC makers. If Mac were to allow "Clones" to be made (Remember how every "PC" that wasn't an IBM was a Clone?) of "Mac" machines, than they might sell the way pC's do, and the playing field could be leveled, just a thought.
