Surak I said this already, but really, try to ask Apple. They are suckers for games on Mac; I know of different projects (free software or games) which got free Macs just asking (in exchange for porting their application).

If he has a mac, he can install bootcamp. Putting in Windows xp and Mac at the same time. However, there are risks involved....sadly, I had mine so bad...

What's the point at installing Windows XP on a mac? I mean, MacOS seems to be far more stable and useful than XP. I'd install a Debian GNU/linux and run wine in case I need to run a win. app.

And regarding to the client... Surak, is it hard to port it? Linux and Macs are posix-compilant, both share libraries and stuff. Is it possible to release an alpha-untested version? Maybe players could help as betatesters.

It should not be hard, only a little portion of the code needs to be ported, the rest should compile as it is.

Yes I know, Mac = graphics and life, Windows = gaming... heh, thats how i allocate mine...... Macs is what i use in business stuff... But since windows have cheaper software, it nice to have both running around your computer... in my case. I remember when my windows crashed......I almost died lol....The problem is, you cant access your files in windows through mac...so its kinda bummer....But when the time comes that Microsoft actually takes over Mac, (i know they will :P) these problems will be solved
