My thoughts exactly, sir. Where can one acquire such a delicacy? I could live off it for a month

Yep - That one's on us. We did some beta testing with a new feature and I didn't get it completely removed.

Gimme a bit, I'm a$$-deep in projects on NICO right now.

We don't supply Street Fighter so I assume NICO is cleared

Yes, I apologized in an earlier post, but I never said NICO was to blame, just that it was noticed whenever I came onto NICO.

So now macs aren't compatible with flash? And let me guess there aren't any emulators for mac too right? If ignorance is bliss then you must be the happiest elf on NICO.

It would appear that that Apple has an extreme prejudice against all things Adobe (aside from maybe Acrobat) so Dato does have a point, after all a very large portion of the interwebz is Flash based... and good luck finding a game that will work on a Mac.

Really? Is that why every single adobe application is available on Mac? Or are you basing this off of the iPhone because it's not flash compatible?

There isn't a doubt in my mind that not every single game has an OSX version, but that's a trade off I'm willing to make. If I want to play a PC game on my Mac I have no problem booting directly into windows and running it faster then on a comparable PC.

It's amazing how many people hate macs because they fear they're drinking the kool-aid or being trendy. The reality of it is that lots of people are switching over. I've got 5 friends that have switched in the last 6 months and they were all hardcore PC users. I have never ever seen anyone switch from Mac to PC in the 10 years I've been a Mac user.
