Let's see, the software I use, available for either platform:

various versions of Nescape and Internet Explorer
Adobe Photoshop
Adobe Illustrator
Quark XPress
Outlook Express
Diablo 2
Alien vs. Predator demo
Starcraft/Brood War
Hotline
Filemaker Pro
Adobe Type Manager (ATM) (may only be available for Mac, not sure)

Software I use, only available on the Mac:
BBEdit
Transmit
Escape Velocity
iCab
iTunes
Catalogue (CD backup database)
ResEdit
Snapz Pro

Anyway, long story short, don't start spouting off reasons that PCs are better than Macs on a primarily Mac-only board; no good can come of it.

Let's see. I think I remember how this goes.... Numerical superiority is no measure of functional superiority. If it were, you should aspire to be a cockroach instead of a human.

Um, Kermmy. You are on a board dominated by Mac users. Trust me, you don't want to press this issue.

Did you not understand my post? If you want to complete the mission, the Scout travels faster. And you can upgrade the Scout to be able to fight it quite well ... if you're any good as a pilot.

/me nods approvingly at EVula's list, and notes that all listed except maybe iCab and Catalogue (which I haven't used, so I don't know) w00t.

As for not being able to loot pirates in a Scout, don't get me started on that either. Anything below Kestrel is a piece of cake in a Scout.

Heh, so I've noticed at GameRanger. 😉

Starcraft / Brood War is awesome. I recently downloaded the demo, and I've already beat it three times (rather simple, though). Hope to get the full version soon.

Quark XPress? Ughh... I'd stick to Adobe products any day. 😉

If I had the time, I'd offer to play you in it. 😉

shrug Try finding a print house that likes getting Adobe <whatever the Quark equivilent is> files. Quark still owns that arena, Adobe needs to just get over it and deal. 😛

Love to play you in a game of Starcraft, but battle.net is so screwed, it doesn't let cable users join or host games. :frown:

Personally, I just can't stand the Quark Xpress interface. Having grown up with Adobe products, they are primarily what I stick to.

Speaking of Adobe, I have the following:

Acrobat
ImageReady
GoLive
Photoshop
Illustrator
PageMaker
InDesign
LiveMotion

I hope to maybe get Premiere should I consider some serious video and media work.

It doesn't? Odd, my battle.net gaming improved greatly when I got cable. I suspect you're having some other kind of problem, but the boards here aren't really the right place to work that out. If you'd like, email me, and I might be able to help you out. 🙂

Oh, and if you do get the full version, I'll be happy to school you a bit some time. 😉
