well said thingy,
it\'s also a frequent misconception that M$ has the largest user base.
Ive dealt with alot of case studies on user groups (both through university and through my job), and in reality there are not as many windows users as there would seem.
We did some private research (for a uk pc manufacturer), last year (2003), and the long and short of it was that only 2/3 of the pc\'s which ship with windows stay on windows (in the uk), whereas machines that are sold with lindows or linux (or some variant os) either stay with that os or at least have it dual boot with somethin economical like win98.
I think one day in the not too distant future (particularly if \"DarWine\" is made general release soon enough), most people will switch to a free os like linux, or a more user friendly os like os x.
However, I spose for now it\'s quite nice being in a minority - certainly a talking point at partys (yes I am that boring).
Anyway getting back to the point, has anyone heard from Daniel Fryer? I think last time I spoke to him he said he was going on holiday soon - which worries me, cos I really need to play cb.
As for alternatives to Ps, the mac community have indeed very few choices - for a few months ive been beta for a game called vendetta online (think escape velocity, in 3d, and mmorpg).
but unfortunately theyve started charging to play since it went general release, and I cant really afford to pay to play.
There was a good link i picked up for mac mmorpgs
http://homepage.mac.com/skybug/mmorpg4mac/MMORPGs4MAC.htmlbut unfortunately its a little outta date.
Oberin looks like it might be interesting if they ever get it finished.
