The Other White Meat ... In this Post Interplay Scenario
bleusilences:
their site is down for at LEASt 2 days. I wanted to download the patchs for baldur's gate 2 and it's expansion but the site is down. And when the site for such a (or at least it was) huge compagnie, it mean it's dead. Or at least they are having even bigger problem.
If you really-REALLY- must have patch support and all the PC fan sites vaporize when Interplay whimpers into a black hole.

Don't have a Mac? It's not as bleak as in the days of the "Performa's".
If you're lucky your town has a big enough Mac market that G3's and G4's more recent than the Beige Tower G3 can be had at used prices.
Online prices seem high for what I could find a used 'basic' box in Columbus, Ohio.
Want an old Mac recent enough to support OS 10.2 or even better OS 10.3, without hardware issues that require heroic measures and OWC's OS 10 patch. OS 10 compatable can use PC RAM and hard drives and will slot the 32 M(PCI) or 64 M(AGP) video cards by ATI.
At the retail level FO may be $19, FO2 $29, BG $19, BG-SC $10-19,
BG2 $29-39, BG2 part2 $29. The best buys may be online.
Not a "CHEAP" bargain, but the Mac should network with your PC. A Mac may be the way to get online when the next MSBlaster clone has most XP PC's cycling to shutdown and reboot. The known Mac OS 10 security breaches are trojans and Apple does the update dance just like Microsoft, just not EVERY week.
