BTW, Macs are Awesome.

[thorfinn]

Oh hi. I forgot to mention. Macs are awesome. Your next computer should be a Mac, assuming you just want a computer where you can do general average day to day stuff and Get Things Done.

If you want to do a specific weird thing (yes, hardcore computer game nerds, that mostly does mean you), then alright, you have special needs, and probably need more thought than just buying a Mac will necessarily get you. You already have the mad skillz needed to go do that. This message isn't for you.

However, for everyone else, if you just want to get connected to the internet, do email, browse the web, maybe do some word processing, download pictures off your digital camera, maybe upload some pictures to the interweb, even have automated hourly backups done for you... then absolutely just get a Mac already.

Oh, and if you're a unix tech-head, you really want a Mac too. Just think, a real Unix OS with a consumer grade UI on top.

OH GODS!
If you do find out I would love to know! It came with WoW 2.4 (which might have been coincidentally OSX 10.5.3 as well) and it is driving me balmy. I jsut cant figure it out. I have gone back to a PC to play as it is just a bazillion times better till this issue is resolved.

Blizzard say it's a driver issue and that Apple or nVidia will have to fix it. Their advice is to do an archive+reinstall and only patch up to 10.5.2.

I'm tempted to try running WoW under Crossover.

Before finding the fix (See below), I did the Archive and Install and only updated to 10.5.2; it didn't fix the problem. Since using the below fix I have upgraded to 10.5.4 again and have not had a problem.
