Once they get the abacus emulator on the Mac, I'll jump on it. All of you new fangled users with your keyboards, monitors and mice. They are so unreliable and use too much power. My abacus has been working great for years with no problems. It's fast too. Unfortunately, the games kinda suck.

You'll be waiting a long time, because the rest of us are waiting for LEOPARD!

That abacus is way too high tech for me, I prefer to use the original multi-touch system, my fingers in the dirt.

M$ just tried to copy it with "Surface", but they are several Millenia behind. tongue wink

[Still "Beta"? Does it mean that they gonna charge us soon once its' "Unbeta"?]

It is built into Leopard. So in a sense, yes, you'll be paying for it when you buy the OS.

Thanks Cubert! Ever seen the Gnu's on discovery channel? they follow the lead Gnu even when it gets Scoffed by a crocodile!!

I guess the Lemmings theory was based on Gnu's. Guess who is the lead Gnu Gnow? Yep! there goes another chair!:-)

@ emax. What is a LEAP ORD?

So much for the rumors that Boot Camp was going to die and fade away cause the license was expiring. grin

@AshNazg: If there were a tripple-boot option, I would have installed Linux as well. Linux/tripple-boot support is the missing feature on Boot Camp... Now Boot Camp is just great, tripple-boot options would make it insanely great :D
Unfortunately, I need Windows more, because of the games, and some win-only school applications. Otherwise, winblows would be blown away from my mac in no time!
