Ahem, now that CMSF Nato is finished...
jeffsmith replied to Danny Chung's topic in Combat Mission Shock Force 1
No I dont see you as a detractor at all I think you are offering reasonable discussion and I agree with you 100% that PC's are fine and Macs are not flawless -

Good thoughtful reply I will answer this question I didn't wipe the Mac I did an install of the OS without losing anything including all programs and documents. I have done installs where I updated the old system and installs where I installed a completely clean operating system The Mac OS doesn't have DLL's, Autoexecbats, and other Windows Files So to move change a system or other software doesn't involve them Installing a program often is just dragging its folder into the applications folder to uninstall a program doesn't involve an uninstaller most often you can just put it in the trash The other night I had to move a program from one Mac to another I copied its folder over from one machine to another using a firewire cable it started and ran flawlessly I will admit this has nothing to do with Operating system installs but just offers a reason I use Macs OK since you used a motor vehicle analogy I will offer one as well I often compare Windows Machines to Trucks with really cranky clutches While the Mac is a more like a BMW Each Tool has its function I wouldnt want to drive a truck on the AutoBahn nor would I want a BMW as a transport vehicle NOW can we MAC Folks go Back to Celebrating the News that CM:N is coming to the Mac -

I have been both a Mac and a PC Tech in various capacities I bought a PC laptop in 2005 because it was cheaper I spent more time on Maintenance & Support on that PC laptop in the 3 years I owned it than in my 25 years of Mac Ownership Yes, I had to reinstall Windows several times and it was not a simple "Safe Mode & Undo" I also have done Mac Operating System reinstalls and find them much easier Why would I buy a $500 operating system when I already own a license for it? (The PC Laptop Died but I still had the WinXP License) I have no distaste for PC's but I prefer my Mac because having used and worked on both I find the Mac a better experience My question for some of the PC users who dont care for Macs is "Have you actually worked with a Mac recently?" A PC person who doesn't like Macs and hasn't worked with one lately is just about the same as an anti-PC Mac fanatic who hasn't worked with a PC I know of more than one PC tech who has a System Admin job with PC's but their own computer is a Mac -
CMSF stand alone Game had the 3 Modules; Marines, UK & NATO IIRC Normandy is a stand alone Game with 3 Modules planned; Brits, Market Garden & Catch-all Bulge & Eastern Front (Bagration?) will also each be stand alone games with their own modules As far as naming is concerned, thats anybody's guess other than the First two words of it CM My guess is if BFC follows the same "Naming convention" they will have separate names for each stand alone game

Well the Year totally was my Screw-up, the Day & Time was posted purposely So the Brits (5 hours ahead)wouldn't post something similar while I was asleep I had just watched a documentary about the Hood & Bismarck so it was fresh in my mind maybe too fresh -

I onestly cant comment on the relative differences of ATI vs Nvidia but 256 should be good to go I second Wicky's suggestion of refurb, great deals there and also might suggest a 24 inch screen will make CMXX look even better -

Michael Bad News = Swapping an iMac Vid card wont happen Good News = the iMac you were looking at will run CMXX just fine Even the newer Mac Mini's with the Nvidia 9400 should work well for CMSF John take care of yourself, looks like you avoided a Cal Earthquake -
I am going to catch a lot of FLAK for this BUT From the perspective of "Cleaner" Coding Wouldn't just writing for Intel Macs be easier (Intel Code Only) Rather than trying to included PPC ?
