My 7600GT is under the min specs (only on Mac) But you can always get access to it now and download it later on your next Mac. If you download it, look me up! My handle is zweiosx. _________________________ twitter

zwei soporific Registered: 06/26/04 Posts: 2523	I've been reading about it in their forums. Even if it did expire it wouldn't matter ...you can finish the game in under 6 hrs. I'm thinking about getting that indie bundle that's on mega sale right now. Those WILL play on the Mac side. I guess i'll be reinstalling bootcamp. I need it for starcraft II anyway. _________________________ twitter

zwei soporific Registered: 06/26/04 Posts: 2523	I downloaded the Indie game bundle for $20 …5 games, and no duds. I REALLY like world of goo. http://store.steampowered.com/sub/4326/ Can't wait to see what this Wednesday brings. (I'm assuming TF2 ..which I want even though I'll have to run it in Windows) _________________________ twitter
