You don't understand. There can be no compromise on the gaming issue.
I buy a lot of games at full price *the day* they come out, because I
can't wait. Macs may play more games than Linux, but they still get
fewer games than Windows and generally get them later. For my gaming
rig I need *the* gaming OS.

However, my parents are MacHeads, and I've been trying to talk them
into getting OSX installed. It would be awfully nice to have a usable
machine over there when I go visit. :-)
