I have been looking into getting a Mac for my next computer.. but i have
been worried about active worlds performance on one.
Would you not recomend running Active worlds on a mac?

Thanks for the advice..
Still considering getting the Mac.. for its performance
I have a 700 mghz right now.. with a decent video card and active worlds
runs great on, but a second computer is becoming a necessity. Having the
best of two worlds sounds wonderful to me! :o)
Thanks again for the advice
