I finally 'made the switch'

I finally ordered a MacBook and it arrived today. I must say it is very different than a PC, but so much better on so many levels.

I just thought I should share my happy news with the world.

Anyone who has ever been skeptical about getting a Mac should really think twice, they're amazing!

Can you play Sim City in PC format on your Mac Book?

As long as it has an Intel core.

I have Windows XP as a secondary boot on my iMac, and I'll tell you...

SC4 runs a LOT smoother on the Windows side than it does on the Mac side.

Go figure.

That's because the Mac Port, one, sucks, and two, isn't Universal yet so it's not going to play very well on Intel Macs under OS X. Aspyr has said they're going to make it universal but when that happens only god knows for sure.

    Ok, so I've installed Windows XP on my Macbook and I installed The Sims 2, but without a right click mouse it has become fairly aggrivating, but it runs really well. I'm planning to install SimCity on it today if I can find my serial number. I'm fairly excited about that.

    Anyways, I'm loving the Macbook, I'm really starting to get used to it...and whenever I have it out with me, people always notice it and its awesomeness.

    It's lovely.

    Ah, so the Macbooks aren't coming with right click? You have options.

    Click and hold often does the same thing. You can also do control-click.

    Also, consider investing in a mighty mouse. They're awesome. 9.gif
