Can I still take classes? I don't think there are any Mac patches, so, will I be able to? I'm kind of worried I won't be able to play with anyone because I have the mac version of JKII.
Can someone help me out? Can I still take classes?

I've been working on Macs for years....

1)You may be getting more out of the buck with the PC, but only when you disregard stability (at least in win)
2) Ever built a transparent stylish green case on your own ?
3) Games: agreed.
4) are u kidding? everyhing in photoshop is 50%-400% faster. Letalone that, ever tried to cut a movie...?
5) Why would u need more than one or two buttons. I remember the times when all mice had three buttons, MS decided not to use the 3rd, and MS decided tu use it again, as well as the wheel. pure marketing
6) Oh yes, but those blue-screens u get when u eject it in windoze are nice ? ;)
7) as os X is a unix, wine should be able to run, and trillian works perfectly under wine, as well as all the other non-DirectX apps.

_I_ could go on like this forever, but I just dont feel like it ;p

Although I have extensive knowledge of both platforms, PC's are definitly the better of the two.

1) You can get more for your buck with a PC
2) You can build you own and this includes case :)
3) There are more and better games on PC
4) Mac's can only load photoshop 2.1 seconds faster...man, time is of the essense.
5) The Mac's have "hocky-puck" mice with only one button for use.
6) Hmm..I have to throw the CD in the trash in order to open the CD-Rom drive.
7) iChat can't do half the things that trillian can do :P

I can go all day, but those are the things that first popped in my head.;)

One of these days when I fall into a pot of money and find someone to buy my PC (at the same time) I'll have a 12" TiBook. :)

Mac is like God, and pc's are like people going around swapping their crap, and pretending he didn't make them what they are, and that he doesn't exist. poor, poor, pc's.

Often times Mac versions have a lower number than PC, but are still compatible. For instance... Mac version 1.3 might work with PC version 1.4.

Of course, this is all a hypothesis, I haven't done any research into it at all. So I could have just given you a load of crap. Sorry if I did. Good luck though, I hope to see you on the servers someday :D

It should work just fine. If you get any errors connecting to our servers let me know and we'll see what we can do about it.

I don't know. I don't use Winex. I use regular OS X, no emulators or anything.

Actually, I have a duel 566 with a Geforce 4 4600, but I was just wondering since most of you use windows if moth mac versions and windows versions can play on the same server at the same time.

Macintosh Forever!

I don't know bud. I have a couple of Macintosh computers too, but I play JK2 on my windows machine. If it's anything like the game Rune, you shouldn't have a problem connecting. Just give it a try.
