umm... no, that is a big fat grin.

Macs do suck in general, you know.

Mac's don't suck. They are the most user friendly computer operating system/hardware platform in the world. Of course, some of us dislike that Macs don't come, by default, with mice with a second button. From what I understand, Apple figures that second mouse button would be too confusing for its Users.

In fact, I've heard they are thinking of getting rid of the keyboard as well. That's way too many buttons for most of their Users as well.

Instead, they are going to put the letter of the alphabet on a bit wheel that spins on the screen. You'll use the mouse to click on the letter you want.

You said it.

Yeh, I didn't like the one button mouse either, so I bought a trackball with 4 buttons and was able to hook it up directly to my keyboard with my regular mouse and two joysticks. This was pre-USB...

That wheel bit seems a bit wierd though...(JOKE)

Talking about keyBoards...my favourite was a upgrade to my Apple II+. In 1981 Apple only made a keyboard which outputted only capital letters. (this was pre-IBM's first [Edit personal] computer which was only a glint in its eye). Yeh, I know it it's hard to believe. So I upgraded it to do both. In addition the keyboard had a unique feature of being able to macro it as well as change the layout of the letters/macros with the pressing of a key. There are keyBoards that do this now, but in 1981, it was revolutionary.

Moo2 indeed has a BEST victory celebration I ever sa in computer game. BTW, there is a Moo2 Version for Mac. Incidently, it is the only one with all known bugs fixed ! Windows Moo2 1.31 is a beta-release by comparison.

I have to disagree with you about all known bugs fixed...at least insofar as the Mac. I had lengthy e-mails and some telephone conversations with their top tech which didn't resolve the issue of it running properly on my Mac.

Saying that Macs are a lot easier to use than Windows PCs implies that Windows is hard to use. It may be more complicated (cause it has more features), but that doesn't make it hard to use. Well, except maybe for people that are completely computer-ignorant.

Sorry to hear about that

But at least they fixed the totaly game unbalancing "trade goods" bug exploitation of which can really make multiplayer unplayable.
