Probably requires Tiger, and if that's so, I may have to shell out the 100 bucks or so to upgrade so I can use GE on my computer and not have to take over my daughter's PC! _________________________ A frustrated earth traveler, bound by the constraints of work and family, must visit the world through whatever means available.

Well, it looks like we're early enough in development where they haven't moved into much optimization - my PB 17" 1.67 runs GE at what feels like almost the same speed as the quad. The quad is a bit snappier on load & ui in general, but I'm impressed at how well it runs on the PB (which only has 512mb right now). I have access to an iBook G4 with Tiger, that'll be interesting to see how well it runs, if it runs.

BThomsen Traveler Registered: 11/15/05 Posts: 53 Loc: MA, USA	my sister has a g4 iBook and I installed GE on it and it worked flawlessly. Its exciting that they're opening ge up to mac users which means it will probably me incorporated in schools a lot more becuase schools (at least mine) are predominently mac in the classrooms.
