To answer your question about the Mac being laughed at from the PC crowd, actually Windows crowd, because of the lack of games.
This was true until fairly recently. Because of the efforts of Valve with their Steam platform and others, we PC gamers can finally stop laughing and welcome them to the fold of the best gaming platform ever made; the PC. Because, after all, the Mac is a PC with a different OS.
Hopefully soon we can roll Linux into the group as well.
Although, the Mac did have some good games over the years. Halo was going to be one of them until Microsoft bought it to make it an XBox exclusive.

- talmand 14y agoWell, you can still laugh at it if you wish. But considering that those paltry few games is a lot more than they had before, I'm willing to say the trend is changing. Somewhere there has to be a point where we can say "this is where it changed". I would think that the release of Steam is possibly that moment.
