They are, however, sensitive to the fact that Mac users find their games irritating because of the lack of "Maclikeness". Keep reminding them of this, in a kind and courteous fashion, and they might start paying more attention to interface issues. Then again, they might not - the Mac versions amount to a drop in the bucket for them. I don't want to get into the "Well, if it only worked like a normal Mac application it'd sell gazillions of copies" argument, but I will say that I believe that that's wrong - even if sales increased by 100%, it would STILL be only a drop in the bucket, compared to IBM PC sales, or even Amiga sales. -- Mike Farren farren@well.sf.ca.us
