I implore you all to look at it and please sign it... I would like very much for this to happen. The basic gist of it is that UbiSoft is making a Myst4, but is not going to make it Mac compatible. The petition is an attempt to change that, and is gathering a fair amount of signatures. Please at least read it.

Custer Bob's Big Date Member # 3151	written Wednesday, August 13 2003 19:49 Profile Homepage #10 AOL = microsoft = windows = suck!!!!!!! omg let's all throw away our PCs To put it bluntly: I've always used a PC. Some people have always used Macs. There is no point in changing machines, because neither offers a significant/real advantage over the other. Quite frankly, if I had $1500+ to blow, I'd probably think of better uses for it than buying a computer I had no utilites or games for and no background in using. The same, I imagine, goes for most Mac users. Why do you fanatics see blood whenever someone says something negative about your machine of choice, anyway? Of course, in AS's eyes, I am some kind of hideous heretic who is one of Gates's minions for not throwing away thousands of dollars of hard-earned money in changing from potáto to potäto. Don't listen to me.

Sound Effect Shock Trooper Member # 1723	written Wednesday, August 13 2003 19:58 Profile #11 Let me first say that I completely agree, Custer. After using both, I happen to prefer Macs. Windows machines have a lot of bugs, they crash, the OS is frustrating. All of these factors are what make me want to use macs. That's not even mentioning the antitrust suites against microsoft. That is why I say people have been blinded by Gates. Because people usually use microsoft stuff first, they end up thinking it's all there is. So, in the end, I guess it's personal preference. But I think most people would prefer macs if it wasn't for the massive market for all things microsoft. EDIT: Custer, you give me too much credit. I'm not THAT fanatical.

In my experience, crashing is as often due to the machine as it is to the operating system.

Also because Jeff uses a mac which means I have to wait for GF2. -------------------- Need a pet? Need cheap labor? Buy a Moose! Take the Personality Test!

I've heard it's pretty good too. Well, I'm a PC user, but still signed the petition, it'd be sad if Mac users didn't get to play Myst 4. -------------------- GET YOUR HANDS OFF MY TOMATO!

Sir Motrax of Exile Senile Reptile Member # 547	written Thursday, August 14 2003 17:04 Profile #20 PCs do tend to have errors much more frequently, but MACs crash like a 1994 Volvo station wagon fired out of a submarine at a barge carrying lead bricks. I wouldn't have a preference, except that I'm used to using windows. I'm sure if I started with a MAC, I'd be using that to this day. -------------------- Polaris Posts: 1614 \| Registered: Wednesday, January 23 2002 08:00
Sound Effect Shock Trooper Member # 1723	written Thursday, August 14 2003 17:21 Profile #21 My mac doesn't crash very often at all. I use it probably and average of 14 hours a week and it crashes once every month or so. I use Windows at school maybe 25 hours a week and it crashes about once a day, sometimes twice. -------------------- "... and approximately one sea turtle."

Talent in a Previous Life This Side Towards Enemy Member # 3098	written Friday, August 15 2003 05:29 Profile #23 AS, your argument can be summarised thus: Since a) I have used both Macs and machines running Windows and b) I prefer Macs and c) I>WORLD logically Macs are the computers of choice of Allah/Yahweh/Ganesha/Mr. T and Microsoft is a horrible filth-encrusted entity which makes its money through child prostitution. In my experience, crashing is as often due to the machine as it is to the operating system. I've known PCs which have never crashed and one which take around half an hour to boot up without crashing and whilst I haven't used Macs more than 5 times in my life, I have seen the beginnings of similar trends. -------------------- Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned I'll tell you my story, man Though I wish I'd never been born I'm loose at the seams, I've broken my dreams And my hand it shakes the pen Come on, come on now baby, Let the good times roll again Posts: 961 \| Registered: Thursday, June 12 2003 07:00
The Immortal BANNED Member # 4	written Friday, August 15 2003 06:49 Profile Homepage #24 I've been blessed with a good-enough machine. I can run my 10 applications 84 hours a day (leaving the machine on and sleeping without ever having to turn it off, letting my BitTorrent downloads continue), and it never ever crashed since I got it some time last June except for when I run Fallout, which for some odd reason decides to brutally sodomize the user whenever you try to quit. (One has to force quit from Finder instead. Avoidable.) In my case, a G4 is good enough. If your machine is "good enough", that's nice. I'm sure everyone else's machine is "good enough" as well. (This is obviously going to AS, who is mildly irritating at this point. -_-; ) -------------------- We're all amazed but not amused By all the things that you said you'd do.
