HKO CB : On A Mac

For those of you on a Mac, you should know by now that most games aren’t made for Macs, and if they are, it’s a few years too late. I used to go to computer LANs with my tangerine iBook (^_^ i was a 8th grade dork!) and get laughed at. My computer didn’t play Metal of Honor. I just type my HTML.
 
Anyhow… For those of you who don’t know, get Boot Camp. You need a Core Duo or better, but it’s pretty easy to do. If you have Leopard, Boot Camp comes pre-installed. If you are like me and are cheap and still run Tiger, it is available in Beta form — for now. I have heard this feature will go away.
 
You can go to support.apple.com for some good guide on this (search : Boot Camp). Some main problems are that sometimes you get the wrong format of hard drive. I had to back up my hard drive, wipe the computer, and re-format my Macintosh hard drive when I re-installed Windows (I went from 15 GBs to 40GBs dedicated to Windows XP.) There is an easier way to do this, and kids in my class know it. I will be sure to ask around.

Playing on a Mac is pretty easy. I play on my MacBook Pro. If you don’t have a mouse - get one. It will help immensely. If not, right click is done by putting TWO fingers on the trackpad and clicking. You can also scroll by moving with two fingers. Also, if you are on a laptop, I suggest leaving your computer plugged in. Windows XP drains my computer like no other.

If you have any questions, you can also ask me directly :) I have to run Windows on my Mac for 3D modeling so I know a decent amount about it. I also have access to two Apple store employees on a daily basis - yay designers who work for Apple to pay for school!
