Strat-O-Matic Baseball 365

I'm a Mac guy, all the way. I remember way back when SOM also did a Mac version of their sets, CD-ROMs. Loved it. So, the Windows, meeeh -- how many people here use PCs vs. Macs, just curious? I guess I could install a Windows app on my Mac ...

I grew up with Macs and remember playing those Strat CD-ROMs on my family's Power Mac in the 1990s. Then I took a 20-year break from Strat and when I came back to it a few years ago, was quite amused to find that the software was basically exactly the same as it had been in the 90s lol.

My take is that Macs were superior in the early days. But since Windows 95 came out, I can't see any real difference in usability to justify the much higher price for a Mac. I hear Macs are better for artists and musicians but since I'm neither of those I'm happy to work on PCs and save myself a few hundred bucks.

Dear Moose, is there a Plan B if Nevdully can't be reached? Sorry to bother about this.

EDIT - Nev is now on board. Look for his team soon.

Someone that is in it can post daily updates. Or I can, I think I can get in and lurk as the league creator. I'm sure it will be done.

Thanks a lot Moose... It is always a blast to follow every team's picks...

That's definitely cool to get a copy of the digital game just for making the finals. Thanks Moose and SOM.

Been a Mac (and SunSparc guy when was doing work stuff) for the last 30 years. I have a cheap windows laptop that I used for my Control4 smarthome stuff.

I had a mac laptop that ran like a champ for 15 years, which I still have sitting around, and a mac pro for about the same, which I also still have but is just idle because it is a tank now and I prefer mobility. Beautiful and capable machines. But I admit since Steve Jobs passed, the company is no longer thinking different. They have turned into PCs--the OS is bloated like windows. It used to be that OS upgrades would be smaller in size. That changed with the move to intel chips and has just mushroomed, IMO.

But, to get my fill of Linux/Unix from the Sun days, I have a Raspberry Pi, which can do all kinds of useful stuff.

Hope things move quickly in draft, as I am out of pocket next Friday Saturday and Sunday. I will do my best to make it so.

Thanks for the update and the cat herding
