We should have the "universal" fat-binary support in the client relatively soon. Perhaps with the first test release even. I'm wondering if any of our users will be able to test the game on Intel-base Macs? We haven't had the money to get a development box from Apple, so we'll be kind of shooting in the dark on this one.

I don't think anyone will want to run our game under Rosetta ;).

I am sure the first iMacs will pop up in neighboring offices soon (tm). I will give it a try.

I'm gonna be ordering one as soon as they make their way into the PowerMac line.

Hmm, I bought my iMac G5 six months ago , so it will be a while before I upgrade.

I plan on getting me a quad g5 first (to have the top-of-the-line PPC product), so, no, not anytime soon. But I do plan to get me a new portable as well as a high-powered system for real work (when pigs learn to fly and stuff, you know).

as steve said all products must now have the name "mac" in them.

names?

powerbook --> macbook pro
imac stays
mac mini stays
powermac --> mac pro?
ibook stays

Isn't there already a Mac in PowerMac?

And there isn't one in iBook.

Thus the Pro in the Powerbook replacement.

I will probably buy one ' eventually ' once the desktop G5.5 comes out.

I'll be ordering an Intel iMac within 2 weeks.

I will very likely be ordering a MacBook Pro soon. However, they are estimating delivery in mid-February.

According to this: http://www.vendetta-online.com/x/msgboard/5/12631#156326 , mgl_mouser already has an intel Mac and is already running the client under Rosetta. Perhaps they would be able to help you test the client before we get our intel Macs?
