	I never said I bought a Pentium.  The game was just an example.  
I haven't bought a Power Mac, or Pentium yet.  I've decided to wait until 
either the Mac gets some more software support for more general use or 
the new Pentiums come out.  I need a computer for CAD.  However, I also 
would like a larger selection of software that x86 architecture offers.  
At the very least it leaves my options open.  For a home computer, the 
Pentium, right now, just makes more sense.
