I was Yoda Lives at the beginning and through the transition but I simplified after the last move.

Thanks for the help. That didn't work, but I told my boss about it and he asked me what the specs were on the tower and told me to just take the 2010 spare Mac Pro (brand new minus my fiddling and turning it into a makeshift server over the summer) so after this weekend I should have a fully functional 2.8Ghz Quad core with 6 GB of ram and an ATI Radeon 5770. I'm so stoked that I have already migrated my current machine to my spare 2TB drive and I can't wait to just drop the hard drive in and go.

Sounds great. I won't be able to play this weekend as I will be home for the holiday, but starting after that, whenever I have some free time from my thesis, I will likely be playing.

My wife ,who not only tolerates my SW geekery, but actively encourages it.

I think that goes for many if not all family members of SW fans. Well put though!

I'm thankful for the four day break from classes and work (though it returns with a vengeance on Monday) and also my family and my best friend who will be graduation from basic in a week.

It seems that fate is determined to not allow me to play this game. I however refuse to give in. My optical drive has failed and after getting the game to install from a disc image I created on my failing Macbook I am unable to play the game because it requires the disc to be inserted.

Does anyone know of a way to bypass this requirement? I have tried mounting the disc image I installed from but that didn't work.

Assuming my backwards way of getting the game to install worked, I should be up and ready for a game in about 30 mins or so if anyone wants to join me look for me on GR

Good to know. I was thinking of taking my Mac Pro to Lion, but I guess I will hold off. The next hurdle is my suddenly malfunctioning optical drive.....

Hey Everyone,

Before I start training and dusting off my old bones and getting back out there. How much Battlefront is being played on GR these days? Just curious if it is worth my time, or if it is more of a hobby for those of us who loved the game?

I don't want to be rude, but I was just a player, I never modded or designed much of anything.

That I have.... but I haven't really been active in almost 4 years....

So after retirement a few years back I thought I would look up the old haunt again, after resetting my password and remembering which email I had used after the last migration....

From the look of it, some things have changed and others are still here. It is good to see that buckler and Verik, and of course Jedikiller are still around.

I will hopefully be dropping in occasionally and may even dust of the install disc and start playing again... Who knows...

Either way, it's good to be back.

Welcome back Zak long time no see.

welcome back sarg

If it was me, and I was concerned with playing a lot of games, I would probably buy the Mac Pro. Easily upgradeable for later and if you put a 1TB hard drive in it with 6 GB of ram you should be all set for dual booting into XP or Vista (or even Windows 7?) for even more games. But as far as monitors go, I probably wouldn't spend the money on an Apple Monitor. Dell, Samsung, and others have great monitors for much cheaper.
