It works OK from the Terminal too... :-)

Good job!

Noooo --- I was using that as an excuse to not get a mac! With the new 
sexy minimacs, my only two excuses were:

1) It's not payday yet
2) SDL and D aren't on there

Now you've gone and removed a reason :( I'm gonna have to spend money 
soon :P

Such as "there are no games, or even less than on Linux"...

Of course, there's http://www.apple.com/games/ and
http://guide.apple.com/uscategories/games_us.lasso

Then again, the 32MB ATI Radeon 9200 doesn't exactly make
it a gaming station. But should be pretty neat for Quartz ?

Writing games is much more fun than playing them, IMO :)

Yea, from what I've read, Panther should run pretty nicely on those 
boxes once the ram is bumped up a bit.

That was my reason :)...not that I really ever play games that I can't 
get by typing "emerge gamename"...usually :)

I've already got two computers, so I hardly think I could justify to my 
wife (or to myself, for that matter) spending the money for a new one, 
when I am already planning on spending a fraction of the amount of money 
to upgrade my current computer to be a badass AMD64 that will outperform 
the minimac.

Anyway, I don't have the unreasonable distaste for Macs that I used to, 
anymore it's just practical reasoning that keeps me from getting one.
