On that petition their was 888 signatures, 887 of witch were probably *Red Ranger Shitware*/blob himself and the other one was WindowsXP User #123456789666 but he only signed because the c0ckcrew made him or they wouldnt let him join their elite crew... Also, I've never had any problems with FlashMX on my mac with 10.1.5.

I'm sorry to say i have to agree on this on flash runs at half speed on my machine and no matter what i do it won't speed up. You don't need flash - it just annoying

Just wondering what is it that runs slow? When you watch things in flash or when working in Flash? Or both, cause I use FlashMX quite a bit and havnt had many problems with it. The one thing i have noticed though is its much slower at is importing a .mov but after exporting it as a .swf the quality looks much beter on a mac...

Ya. Im not quite sure what the deal with speed is.

I mean, maybe some flash runs faster in windows or something, but to tell you the truth I see little diffrence. Back in my Newgrounds days I used to wast time at my schools comp. lab looking at movies. They had Wintel boxes and Mac's both connected to the net.

I used whatever was available and never noticed any significant speed diffrence. So what exactly is the diffrence?

dude, still, a macintosh does have great support of blizzard's games, and like the hardware that a mac is running, i bet the graphics in warcraftIII kicks the pc's graphics ass

More than Blizzard, just go to Apple and look up games. You'll get a pretty comprehensive list.

No, we don't have the slew of games the PC does. But we got a whole lot, and a whole lot of good ones at that.

Another intresting thing is that some relativly old macs can run warcraft III decently, but on a PC it has to be pretty new.
