How can you say macs suck? They have superior hardware to any other package-pc manufacturer in the world, with the possible exception of ailienware, which makes computers that are not good values.

But seriously, she rarely gets macs

kind of like that other company.  their logo is a strange and exotic fruit of some sort.

Alienware makes computers that cost twice as much as macs, and have hardware of comparable superiority. You're paying for the fancy case. The markup on macs are not outrageous when compared to any other computer company. Also, when you consider that macs come with a ton of software that most machines that come with windows pre-installed do not have, you're going to save money. I can't respectably make that argument though, since I don't usually pay for software.

But in any case, hdx, if you could get your hands on one, I'd definitely be interested. I'm currently saving up for a something of that nature anyways.

So to be on-topic how's the PvPGN plugin going? ^^

Nah, I don't like Macs.  I'm looking for something smallish so I can take it to class without my back hurting.

I don't think the markup is "outrageous", but it's more than enough reason to keep me from buying one.  They're nice computers, I'll give you that, but there's no way I'm dropping $2,400 on something I could probably get for half that.

Yeah, the software argument sucks, especially since there is probably a FOSS equivalent for the majority of the included applications.  Granted, FOSS "equivalents" tend to suck, but they usually do a good enough job to warrant not blowing the money on a commercial app.

Just wokeup, its my day off [god dammen body conditioning, I wanted more sleep :*(]
So i'll be installing a PvPGN on my new laptop today and getting it up and going, and then getting to work on it.
I also have other projects ima start [see the re-writing JBLS thread in bnet dev.]
And then a birthday party today! We get to beat the shit out of eachother with boffer weapons.

Looks like they do indeed use IX86verXX.mpq, additionally their ChatEvents packet is ALL fucked up.

[Hdx]

Well first things first, they handle account creation improperly.
Fucking lazy PvPGNers

[Warrior]

Wait until you see the chatevents packet...
I cried.

Um, I'm on my MacBook right now, according to apple's website:

Size and weight

Height:
    1.08 inch (2.75 cm)
Width:
    12.78 inches (32.5 cm)
Depth:
    8.92 inches (22.7 cm)
Weight:
    5.0 pounds (2.27 kg)

[edit] Sidoh: I only paid $1200 for my macbook; the pros are more expensive because they use more expensive materials (better case, real speakers, better cooling system, keyboard backlight, etc) and have a miniatureized ATI graphics card. The markup is roughly the same rate between the MB and the MBP.
