Aha, now I see why Mike was getting so fired up about Macs at EB.
I frankly don't care either way. I prefer Windows because that's what I know. I do have bad memories with my grade school's 'Mac Lab' but that's simply because the teachers knew less about them then we did....
Back on topic, I had Win 98 on my last PC and I still had trouble with just Print Screen and screen grabbers.... I have yet to install DF (or any of my games save for Baldur's Gate 1 & 2) on my new PC (OS is Win XP) so can't comment.
