> abysmal MAC platform? What the hell is that supposed to mean?

I must admit to taking exception to that statement and took the time to send mr Lui an email of complaint (I was Mr Angry), when I asked him to retract, justify, back-up or substantiate his statement his reply was as follows:

Hi Dave, in the sentence that you sighted below, I only meant to say that the MAC platform was 'abysmal' as far as being a prominent gaming platform. Regardless of how you feel about the MAC's capabilities as a personal computer, I think you'd have to agree that when you compare the MAC as a gaming platform to Nintendo, Sega or Sony, its dead last on the peaking order (again this does not refer to quality of an individual product, but
more towards perception).

None the less, I agree the statement was rather scathing and derogatory (especially when you consider I have nothing personal against the MAC [I'm a graphic designer as well]). So I've changed the sentence to read differently.

Thanks for keeping me on my toes.
