Hi che, for myself, in the last two months, I've seen at the very least, 10 to fifteen new VI Mac users, and that's only in my own sphere. Now, that translates to about $450 if a game is $30 a pop. Now I'd personally rather spend $30 or so on an accessible game than install Win XP for about $200 if I have the choice. lol!
I also think the amount of VI Mac users will continue to rise with the improvement of access tech available with OSX and beyond. These are obviously just my thoughts, and I think this topic is a great one!... Thanks so much for your note and am looking forward to getting back playing RR when I do windows on my lil baby! <smile> HOpe you / yours have had an absolutely awesome new year's celebration and I wish ya a great 08!!!
