All of us at special reserve have gazed upon the gaming industries past and current glories in all forms whether it be that of a console or PC.
But what do I hope to see in the future instead of the majority of PC users playing games on there Windows based machine?
Deeper and deeper stretch the marbled hallways of the brilliant games that have been converted to work on the Macintosh Operating System.
We Mac users are beginning to see a light alike no other, it is the waving of all companies working with them instead of against them, they are not as much waving to say 'hi' but waving for 'help', they need to be rescued from the bottomless Microsoft pit, within the past year the change has begun:
---The school kids are happy with there basic amusement and a change from the daily drudgery of class, they go home and enjoy a nice game of 'Theme Park 2 ' on there Mac.
---The students are little better (me), desperately trying not to fail there exams and what nots they play games which seem to call there names within there heads and they cant resist playing 'Deus Ex' again on their Mac.
Even the great Black & White is going to be released on the Mac OS, and with this hugely successful title, comes the essence of satisfaction amoung the users who were disappointed with there ungamable Mac.
Mark my words: Revolution is coming, no longer is the only computer a WIndows run system, the Mac is fighting strongly outselling the PC in other countries.
Black & White is just the beginning....
Thank you

Well, it took a whole....47 seconds to find voodoo 3 drivers for 2000.
www.driverguide.com
Almost always got what I need on there, helped loads with my 2000 install.

To be honest, my '98 doesnt crash that much.
I just think i'm going to have problems finding 2000 drivers for stuff like my voodoo3. 3dfx have shut down now, dont know if they released any....
I suppose i could go and look at their webiste, but i;ve got so much on at the moment it's unreal.....

NO YH, go back to 95 or Dos, yeah the days when it only crashed once a day....
..that was the beginning of the end!

I've got 2000 and ME dual boot on here, and I -never- use ME. 2000 is so much faster, more stable, you have more control over the system, and all my games work fine.
2000 was an update of the NT4 code, so is a much more stable release than ME, which has been known to crash on me up to 5 times in one day, usually about twice. 2000 has never crashed. ever.

That is the first step to disaster, and XP is sooo bad, imagine something worse than Windows, do you have the picture, well then imagine something worse than that, do you have that picture, because its about that...
and also Reaper, would you prefer to be a sole company earning a lot or a small company earning little??

Haven't heard much about it too be honest with you.
Excpet this time MS have re-done the code from scratch, as oppsoed to updating like they did with 95-98 and 98-2000.
Im tempted to get Win 2000, i run 98 now, but i need to find all new drivers for my hardware.

Yes. Absolutely appauling.
Seen beta versions from MSDN people, hate it, I'm sticking to windows 2000 until M$ create something worthwhile. Don't like their serial/hardware tracking either.

Ah, yes, but Macs are all sold under a single brand, and you're comparing this to any individual hardware vendor. Add the profits of every company who sells PCs in north america together and compare that to Mac's profits. Think you might find a bit of a difference.
