I feel for you. I'm on my 6th, 7th, and 8th Mac. I hadn't realized things were so bad with Civ 3, as it didn't catch my fancy as much as Civ 2.
A little off topic, but I did talk to Richard Garriott about putting out games for the Mac. He's quite fond of the Mac platform, but at the time (he said) it was just not economically feasible to port to the Mac. I suppose times have changed, as he's got an OS X version of Lineage out now. And if porting a game in the first place is uneconomic, aftermarket support no doubt gets left hanging. I just wish that if companies are going to go to the trouble of porting, that they make a commitment to support the platform in a reasaonable and timely manner.
Oh, and Mav, I know all about going to the Dark Side. I do Windows programming for my living.
