"The Steam for Mac client has been in the hands of gamers for a week
now*and*Valve is collecting some useful data about Mac users. Among the
statistics the company has gathered so far: two-thirds of Steam for Mac
users run on laptops, and after one week, 11 percent of all Steam
purchases are for Mac. One surprising result, however, is that the same
version of Portal is five times more stable on Mac OS X than on Windows."

"Five times more stable on Mac OS X" trolls!

Because I made a mistake. I mean, that's what I think a reasonable
person might conclude.

I guess you're perfect, then!

Don, Alan is a regular around here, obviously posted to the wrong newsgroup.
You know, there aren't many NG's that I can put up with since there is
soooooo much bs postings to most and I'm not a guru on how to ignore them
and such.Somehow, even though posts get a bit ...... thin, at least they are
still pretty well focused.

Thanks, Chris. I know I haven't been around for a while, but Don's
reaction did seem a little harsh.

Watch it Pat, you mention 'steam' one more time and I'll kill file you
(whatever that means ;-) I guess it means to add you to a 'blocked senders'
list, right? I'm not 'acting' stupid here, I really am ;-)

Yes indeed, it means to be banished via a filter on the newsgroup
reader. Not a very strong threat, and I am sure that I reside in a few
kill files myself. :-)
