You don't know how much that would slow me down in doing anything on my computer, especially in Starcraft Melee. In melee you're using the mouse and keyboard as seperate tools, I can't stress how much right click move is used in combination with hitting hotkeys in just an average skilled melee game. If pro players were forced to use control-click you would see a huge difference in skill level.

I honestly prefer macs. I was raised on Macs, I played Starcraft for the first time on a Mac, and they have Macs at school. I had some minor problems with the old OS' but I've yet to have any problems with the current ones. The mouse is slightly irritating, but why not buy a different one? It's not burnt in there. However, I don't extensively use Macs, and I don't own one anymore, I had to relearn computer interface on Windows. I've had quite a bit of problems with Windows, but they're both okay. But Microsoft is run by a bunch of greedy bastards.

Hey, and Mac's OS was the first released GUI. And then Windows came along...


Poor poor T-DOS.

At school we have some MACs, they have the left, right, and wheel.
The mouse is not an issue.

Thats if ur stupid windows can handle THE MAC VIDEO POWER!!!

mac video power? took waaaaaaaaaay longer to load that on the macs at my school (which have T1) than my computer (which has cable).

School T1 is slow because they have alot of computers running on it at the same time. So no matter what you have at school, the internet will always be slow.
(My school has T1 too, and I have cable)

Settle doooown. I was just stating why a one button mouse is impractical. It's already known that macs are P/S2 compliant and you can use almost any mouse on them. Sheesh.

Ping isn't only computer speed. I have DSL, and I rarely lag. Plus my ping has been under 40 many times. So how is this an issue?

Remind me again how "video power" has anything to do with connection speed? From my understanding, a Mac's ability to play movies has absolutely nothing to do with the internet. Hell, you don't even need any connection to play StarCraft.

True, its the network, not the connection, that makes a difference in the speed at a school or other such public place.
