Even more easily, in fact, since LA has a loyal, built-in following and is/was one of the most popular companies making Mac games. So they don't take the risk in porting that other companies do.

That they don't know the basics of doing business? --Mark -- Mark Borok "Restless Graphics" Animation and multimedia design http://www.mindspring.com/~mborok Remove "spamless" from email address to respond
