    Hey I thought I was the only Mac user in Ireland. Great to see there are a few more (though not enough). I got an OS 9 two years ago, and just bought a spanking brand new Power PC G4 OSX soon to be updated with the Jaguar OS as soon as it downloads from Limewire :eek:
    To all you PC users, take the red pill and see how far the rabbit hole goes, so go on buy an iMAC, you will never look back.
    When the hell are Esat, NTL etc gonna get their act togetor and give us some decent internet connections at a reasonable price :confused:

    The only draw back with Mac is no Counterstrike and now it looks like we got to pay for our .mac accounts.

    Got to go, my Jaguar OS is nearly downloaded, finally.

    Jack

    Counterstrike is filled with no-skill 12 yearolds. get Firearms or Quake3.

    Got to go, my Jaguar OS is nearly downloaded, finally.

    This Jaguar OS intrigues me. Got a link to info? :)

    Just go to Apple.com It is a slightly upgraded OSX but a pricey one at that.

    Quake II is available for OSX...

    Well, i used to be Mr MacEvangelist #1 until i got fed up not being able to play decent games or get the apps that i needed. I bought a pc 2 years ago and havent realy looked back ;)

    Having said that, i still use macs in work and am quite fond of them.
    PLEASE dont start up the old mac vs pc thing (i thought it had been replaced by loonix vs windoze anyway).

    Oh and syx, shup about yer alphas, we have SGI's in work running Irix so i can out beard you if you throw any sort of gauntlet :)

    I'm afraid you're several disagreements behind there dustaz :)
    There's been plenty of flame wars about the merits of different Linux distributions and discussions on which window manager is the best always gets the trolls out.

    Yep, IRIX is nice alright. It's fun to play around with the 3d file system navigator from jurassic park :)

    What sort of setup do you have there?, I didn't think Silicon Graphics machines were all too common in ireland.

    We have progams like Softimage 3d, Maya, Alias and Flame running on them

    And bollocks to that jurassic park thing, its ALL about /dog baby :)

    (for the uninitiated, Dog is a combat flight sim in full 3d. Its like Irix's Jigsaw or Minesweeper....raaaaar)
