My work mate bought a cheap pc laptop for $500 and was fully disgusted at the performance of World of Warcraft on it especially when he saw how it ran on my Mac Book Pro. Well, I did pay $2000 - I would expect it runs better! So recently, a few months after the fact, he bought another cheap pc laptop to improve his WoW experience. The new laptop is about $950 and the specs are near similar to my 3 year old Mac Book Pro. He is getting decent performance now, but still complains it doesn't look as good as on my Mac Book Pro, even with similar video card an everything. One thing specs don't tell you is the quality of the LCD, and I guess it shows here. On his laptop, World of Warcraft is too light. I was surprised to here this because it is my experience that pc's gamma tend to be on the dark side. Well, he is still needling around in the preferences trying to make his WoW experience as nice looking as mine.

Yea, imagine that. This spring, they expect me to upgrade my Mac hardware to something called Leopard. What the *#^^()! Pay how much? For a Mac I already have, I expect free updates for life. Gimme a break Apple.

Many problems I have encountered are due to me having more than one user account on one machine. I usually install apps inside of my user account (as the admin) and other users will have apps crash on them (notibly with some games, and parallels desktop also had the problem of not being able to open a VM). This issue can be resolved by opening the GET INFO and making sure that the 'GROUP' has READ AND WRITE permissions!
