    So yeah i was looking at the pictures and i saw that insted of a headphone and a mic plug it only has 1, does that mean it works as both and the apple 3g headset will work perfectly for it?

    Also I never had a mac b4 but the 13" macbook pro is really tempting, I always heard stuff about macs like their bad for gaming, works bad with adobe flash, and not alot of software out there for it. Any of that true?

    For the week that I owned a macbook I completely loved it and now that I returned it for an upgrade I'm going crazy and can't decide which one I want to blow my money on. Makes me wish os x were the mainstream OS and windows would die.

    Also I think you can use the jack for both but I never tested it other than speakers. Had a built in mic next to the keyboard though.

    And I probably would stray away from a mac if your thinking about mostly gaming unless your like just playing WoW or the sims you'll wish you had windows...........which you can just end up dual booting if you really wanted.

    I think that if OS X were the mainstream OS, then there would be more problems for the software. More hardware vendors would lower Mac prices, but then we would experience similar driver and compatibility issues as WindoZe, minus the viruses, spyware, disk fragmentation, and all of that nasty programming inherent with WindoZe.

    Macs are not "bad" for gaming, just limited because higher end graphics cards are expensive. Compare the GTX 260 from EVGA/XFX/BFG/etc. on WindoZe versus what Apple charges.

    WoW will run pretty good, not sure how CS:S would run (has plently of power....valve is just nit picky about what running where; ie: ps3 vs 360 version of orange box).
