Games on the Mac: every new Mac comes with Bootcamp, which enables the Mac to run Windows. To play a windows game on a Mac, start Bootcamp and play the Windows game on the Mac as if it was a Windows PC. Simple. Link: http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/bootcamp.html

I was a Mac-head for years (as a designer), and I still grok deeply the elegance of Apple products. But there's one minus, in switching to a Mac: Games. I love playing games. My kid loves playing games. And even though NVidia et al started making video cards for the Mac, the selection of games still sucks. No, actually, it blows. Perhaps it's because I grew up playing on my cousin's Atari 2600 in the late 70s, and envisioning cool computers as devices that could someday supersede arcade machines -- and they did (yee-haw!) -- and I don't need to beg my folks for quarters anymore! Otherwise, if you wear "business-casual" attire more than 20% of the time, a Mac is awesome, and sexy. (I like the Air notebooks -- especially the solid-state, no-moving-parts versions.). Or if you're a designer, with purple hair. (Hey, I do appreciate multicolor hair, facial piercings and brand loyalty!) But if you like to blow off steam by Gaming -- forgetaboutit. On a personal note, I can't believe I'm ranting about geeky issues. I shall go and repent now. Cheers! -Alexander
