AH2 For mac?

[hubsonfire]

No, don't be silly. A Mac is like the Yugo of computers.

Furburger, you're thinking of the BigMac, which is primarily gill-netted dolphin, and domesticated cat. That rat and cardboard stuff is just a myth.

Thats the Whopper handsomehunk, BigMac is made from muskrat and snow frogs.

I dont see why Ah2 would run choppy on any mac, Since they are basicly built to handle graphic intensive programs. Besides, my powerbook 12" is twice as powerfull as my desktop which runs constantly 70fps on medium settings.

Get back on topic.

Good suggestion for the virtual pc program, but i can buy a cheapo dell for the same price for what they want for the stupid program.

No numbnuts that's the Sonic #1, the Big Mac is curdled  tofu and pond scum with a hint of weasel apple.

Im no mac expert (this is like my 4th day owning one), but from what ive heard, it would be very simple to make a mac version.

You may also want to publish linux version.

Please help a fellow out, i dont want to waste my time not playing AH.

Thanks for reading,
numberz.

When you buy a Mac, you basically put yourself outside of mainstream computing.

When dealing in niche market software, like AH2, the software vendors cannot afford to make a Mac version.

It is one of the big things to consider when buying a Mac. If you wanted to fly AH2, you should have gotten a PC.  I know that there is this kind of "Cult of Mac" that always states how superior their computer and software is.  But when I buy a computer I consider: "which one will run most of the available software out there?"  And the overwhelming number of programs and hardware are targeted at the Windows PC. It is just the reality of the situation.  To me the superior computer is the one that lets me run the most software, and has the largest base of global support.  Plus, Windows PC are dirt cheap.

Enjoy your Mac, they are nice PC's

I think there are other flight sims out there that will run on a Mac.  You may want to search that out.

Id swear it had snow frogs in it, anyway, why the hell are these guys hijacking our burger thread ?

I heard a semi-credible (but not totally credible) rumor that MAC is going to stop producing PCs and move entirely to iPODs and the like (small accessory stuff).

EDIT: By that I mean there's more money in it for Macintosh to make newer things that have a greater market demand.

I have been doing my jobs and real works with Macs since 1986, beside my hobbies with PCs...

There has always been "rumours" concerning the Apple and Mac...Some day they will stop the manufacturing of machines, other day they will stop the software developement...

Let me have a LOUD laugh!

Who of You would have believed 2 years ago that IPOD/Itunes is the world-leading netmusic-distributor? Honestly?

Numberz,

When the Intel based Macs are released you might be able to do a dual-boot system with them so that you have your Mac and a WinXP system as well.

As to your claim of "Since they are basicly built to handle graphic intensive programs.", well, they are built to handle 2D graphics for doing design layouts and video editing and the like.  3D graphics are a totally different thing and they have no advantage on the PC in that regard.

Mac will probably not go away.  If they have problems Microsoft will probably give them some money to keep them going to avoid a monopoly.  Microsoft has already done this.  Micro$oft wants to avoid monopoly, and they are so big that Apple is hardly a threat inspite of what you might read in Mac World.

Macs are just to costly for businesses to run (not talking graphics/video business here).  But the average IT department is so Microsoft entrenched that to retrain it would cost a fortune.  That is why you see that most businesses realize that for many server apps, Unix/Linux are more costly than Windows.  For some applications of course Unix is more stable, and is the logical choice.  But linux costs more to support.  These are not speculations, check the data.  And it is on hard facts that businesses run, its called "the bottom line"

Also, as you will have noticed from Zuum's post, Mac has this almost cult like following.  Like Harley-Davidson, if you can get a customer to tatoo your logo unto your body, you have a customer for life.

The iPod has been a great boon to Apple, and well done.

Apple has moved or is moving to the Intel processor.  This should cut down on thier costs.  They are already using a lot of industry standard hardware to help with costs.

But in the world of computing, Mac is a side show.

I am not sure that Intel based Macs will use standard X86 architecture. They may be set up for optimization with Unix, and not Windows compatible. And from a marketing standpoint, I don’t think Apple would like to release a OSX that would run on a standard PC.  That is a can of worms Apple has never opened, as that would put them head to head with Microsoft.  Their hardware has always been a motherhood issue with Apple.

I haven’t researched this, as I find that the whole Mac/Windows war is not only boring, it is over.  Only Mac aficionado’s don’t seem to know that yet LOL!!

I am sure they won't, but Microsoft and other PC hardware companies may very well release drivers that would enable WinXP to run on the Apple's Intel Mac hardware.

I don't consider it a war, it is just technology and the market. You pick what is best/cost for the job.

Well, lets put it this way. My mac, has a better video card than any other computers in my house, its better for 3d in every way.

And, the power mac has the biggest video card that can be put into a computer(besides custom PCs, which you can do anything.)

Those emulators are nice, i will eventualy buy one.

Never going back to PC. Mac and I are friends now.
