PowerPc's - windows OS with Mac architecture.
I don't use make because all my software is windows based and so are all those I'm linked to via network and email.
Getting some of these people to understand what a rar file is can be a headache, so converting between OS formats would be a nightmare.
Bloated windows culture wins again.

Yeah, my next system is going to be one of those massive 8-core PowerMac tower things. It's going to be awesome. 8 processors running VIS. :P

that would explain why Macs are regarded as performance boosters. No games to play at the office means you are stuck having fun reformatting those targas in Photoshop your boss asked you to do.
So true... we all have Macs at my current job, and this is the first company i've worked at where we don't all stop at 6pm and fire up Q3/UT/CS/TF2.

But Quake3 and UT are available for Mac.

No other theories. Maybe the people you work with aren't gamers? Maybe they like consoles? I dunno, you'd know better than me. :)

Or, thinking about it more, it might just be the way it is. We don't fire up games after hours here very often either. People play together at home over XBox Live but playing in the office has become something of a historical footnote.

a less snarky version of the above is, maybe most people want to be playing the latest thing. I still like Q3, but I've played a lot of it and would rather be playing TF2 now.

I've found that coding in a POSIX situation is much more enjoyable in an open-source environment (i.e., not using OSX). For example, Gentoo has a magical ports-like system where you can download, compile (with your specific flags) over 10,000 apps with 2 commands or less. I found it much easier to use than DarwinPorts or whatever the latest attempt to bring normal BSD functionality to OSX is called.
Unless you have money to burn, and feel the desire to trust random binary blobs that you download/purchase, BSD or GNU/Loonux > OSX.
Generally, OSX is expensive as fuck. Think about the cost of their hardware, alone -- it might be pretty, but you pay a premium for that anodized exterior and light-up logo.
Note that Apple is a small very evil company (software and hardware lock-in), whereas Microsoft is a big evil company (software lock-in).
I'm not talking outside of my experience -- I own a G4 powerbook and a video ipod. I used the powerbook as my main machine for 3.5 years.
I Wonder How Darwine Is Doing These Days?

Alternatively, install Ubuntu on a spare bit of disk and use Wine (it's what I do, though I have to use Ubuntu for work) -- maybe it even works in Parallels these days.

pretty solid map thats a lot of fun, 3 times round got a bit much for me despite the different starts and routes, but good idea and nicely executed.
