Hardware Roll-Call!

Yeah, I'm a Mac nut. Intel-powered Apple hardware I have access to: a 1.83GHz MacBook Pro (shiny!) and back home, my dad's Core Solo Mac Mini.

Admittedly, I haven't got round to installing Windows XP on either yet (I need to get an external Firewire disk and a new copy of Windows XP), but I'm somewhat interested in this - as it would mean I can work on MINERVA even when hundreds of miles from my big, ugly desktop PC. Oh, and if anyone gets things working fully by April 8th, you will be my best friend ever. —Cargo Cult (info, talk) 02:29, 24 Mar 2006 (PST)

Video drivers for the MacBook Pro and iMacs are expected very soon. Once the video drivers are working, then the games can actually run decently. :D --Steamfraiser 19:02, 24 Mar 2006 (PST)
