  1. Good to know Wicky - thanks. I'll likely get to it eventually but I need to learn the Mac system a bit better first. Definitely though I'll post back and let you know how it went once I get to it. Many thanks
  2. Yup, I get it now . I'm taking some heat myself but I deal mainly in graphics now and they seem to be a weeee (i.e. VERY little) bit better at that. Mostly though I got tired of the interminable MS updates that broke as many things as it fixed. Of course, we all know Mac's aren't perfect either (but I'll never admit it in public.... oh, wait... ). You're right. My brother is north of Ottawa a bit. I just thought if we were close and you were looking for someone to massacre on a regular basis, I'm up for some learning, but that would be a bit of a drive <LOL> Thanks again Ian, appreciate the input
  3. Thanks for this Michael. So you're saying that the SSD and 16 GB RAM would be a bit lacking for these games? I'm running with 16 GB RAM now on the PC and everything seems happy enough. I tend not to go for the really big battles myself though so probably it wouldn't be an issue anyway, but the more info I have going in, the better. Thank you Michael. Glenn
  4. Thanks for this Ian. I am intrigued/concerned(?) on not wanting to comment on #2 - sounds like I might be in for considerable grief if I do make the move (or vice versa)? Anyway, good to know about the installers. Thanks for the assist. Glenn (PS - I'm in Ontario as well - north of Kitchener - wonder if we're neighbours? )
  5. G'Day All, I'm starting to consider switching my games (I only own BF games, so that part is easy) from my aging PC to my new iMac with the latest version of Sierra installed. Hardware wise this should be fine with 16 GB of RAM within the 5K iMac 27" with SSD. The reason for the switch is that BF are the only games/simulations I'm playing now (and CM, at that) and all my actual work, etc. is done on the Macs (I have an LT as well, but won't be using it for CM), thus the PC days are numbered I suspect. In terms of CM I have all the current versions including Game Engine 4 for all except CMFI. Now I have read in one forum where a chap was switching to a Mac and it was recommended he do the installs in increments rather than trying to do it all at once, so I'm aware of that much at least. So my questions are: 1. For anyone that has run CM2 on both PC and Mac's (assuming comparable machine specs), do you have a preference of one over the other? This switch is not a done deal and I may opt not to do it depending on various factors. 2. Are there any performance penalties/enhancements of one over the other that you saw? 3. I'm assuming I would need to repurchase the set (makes sense - totally different OS), but want to confirm that. 4. Assuming "Yes" to #3, are the current games being sold now the latest version (i.e. GE4), or would you still have to go through the full update procedure after installing the base game(s)? Thanks very much for the help. Glenn PS - I too would love to see a Commonwealth module for CMFB!
  6. G'Day All, I'd like to sign up to Twitch TV so I can chat during Chris' presentations (haven't missed one yet ). My question is, signing up for Twitch is totally separate from Facebook, correct? I'm assuming it is, but there seems to be a connection of some sort, and I'm not interested in having a FB account. So, can someone please confirm that if you sign up for Twitch, you do not end up with a Facebook account as well? Many thanks.
  7. I want to add my voice to the kudos as well. I've written a tech manual or two and they can be easy compared with something like this. Nice work indeed (and again!). The CM manuals are some of the best I've seen for any endeavour. That's saying something.
  8. Only 3" ??? Like I said, "Happy April 1"
  9. Good morning all. Ahh, so nice to see a new month arrive Anyway guys, what's everyone waiting for?? I got mine at 05:00 EDT this morning. Not sure what you are all waiting for... . It's super too! They did a great job on this one!
  10. Thanks for another great show Chris! Well done as always
  11. Man, I'm in. Waiting patiently (an out and out lie, but my impatience isn't going to speed anything up... I hope ).
  12. I was going to say death, but that would be waaaayyyy too easy compared with what one would really get
  13. Thanks again Chris! Boy, you people sure know how to sell a game . Learned a lot again and will be back next Saturday. Have a great week!
  14. OK, now I get it on FF. Explorer 10 is totally lunched for this.
  15. I'm not getting anything at all at this point. That's very unfortunate.
