[QUOTE="thacan, post: 1936834, member: 419609"] The Macintosh turns 40 in February and I was there from the very beginning. I recall my amazement toward the Lisa in 1982 after reading the Byte magazine review (but at $10k ouch!) and when the Macintosh debuted I knew it was the machine I wanted; my very first computer. I recall the reaction of many people at the time, they said ‘that machine looks like a game computer.’ Apple must have taken that as an insult and narrowly focused on the business world, because fast forward to today and Windows is the gaming machine by a long shot. Having enjoyed gaming as much as working spreadsheets, word processing, engineering drawings, etc. in my lifetime and now retired, I am more interested in a gaming machine. So many titles are dropping MacOS, even Diablo! And as much as I absolutely abhor Windows (seriously I hate it with passion) I am considering a Windows gaming machine, because we no longer have the bootcamp option on the Mac. Plus I’ve always been interested in VR and a new 3D windows machine with VR isn’t that expensive compared to Apple’s new VR offering. I’m not sure this is an appropriate place to post, but I am looking for some alternative perspective that might steer me another direction. Thanks in advance. [/QUOTE]
