Just got a MacBook

I just got a MacBook a week ago, and I have to say, Leopard so much better than Windows XP. Unfortunately, there's less software for OS X, and the amount of game creation software is much smaller. Hopefully I'll have bootcamp running eventually so I can run all my windows programs. Right now I'm using GameMaker for the mac (www.macgamemaker.com), and while it's not as flexible, the community is tighter-knit and it takes more skill to make really fun games. In windows GameMaker, any idiot can make a breakout clone, but it would take loads of programming knowledge to make one in Mac GameMaker.

Yeah, I know you're all jealous. :D

Cool, now you have more work than before. ;)

I'm not all impressed with Leopard… especially after seeing it run on a Mac Book compared to my G5 at work.

Then what are you impressed with? Honestly Fred, you only seem to put down things.

Like you, Chiken?

Wow, from out of left field, Chiken. I can say that I am impressed with some parts of Mac OS X (I like the Expose, and some of the desktop / screensaver effects), but dislike others. There's no need to take my OS preferences personally though, hehe.

So you're happy because it takes you a year to make something that could be done in ten minutes on Windows?

RK Launcher Leopard inspired + WindowBlinds + Leapord Glass by 2smoke (that's a spelling mistake by the author) = ultimate pure win. The only good thing about Apple's products are the interfaces and the physical look. NOTHING ELSE.

Physical look means nothing, WindowBlinds or Linux for my comp for pretty.

WHERE IS YOUR GOD NOW?
