Ah, well, I do my best. (-:

It annoys hell out of me when IBM peeps say "But there's NO games on 
Mac".  IMO, sure, there are fewer [like, by 90+%] games on Mac, but the 
games that are around are of superior quality in all ways than IBM.  
Marathon, sure, has similarities to Quake and/or Doom, but Marathon is 
better by far.  Dark Castle (and BDC - they go hand in hand), even in b&w 
form, beats many IBM games of even 90's standards.  

If you want a games machine, by a Nintendo... Playstation... Sega... IBM... If 
you want a computer, by a Mac.
