IBM Compatable system" kind of garbage. But lets face it, programming on a mac suxs big time, which is why I have a IBM Clone. Those expensive, non-sensical, uni-buttoned (can't play Doom on one button) funny fruit boxs are fine for what they do. But simply put, Doom doesn't exist on the Mac. Probably because there is no easy way to do imitate the operating system Doom loads before running. So atleast for now, Mac owners can watch and wonder. It would seem the closest attempt on Mac is horrible anyway. Don't take it personally... -=DK=-
