Myth on OSX
Maybe I'm the last person to know this but I just discovered that Myth has been ported to run native on OSX.
This free updater comes free from Myth Dev and they have released one for each of the 3 Myth games. These are actual upgrades to the original games. All you need to have is a copy of the onginal game on a CD. Once you do the upgrade you can also get a free account on Play Myth for network multi-player games.
OK, maybe I'll see you out there soon defending earth from The Fallen Lords and their minons!

Macworld Update
It looks like I will be going by myself after all so I think 1 will keep it to 2 days Max. That will give me time on the floor and time to catch a few workshops. I may still take the train in or drive to Bart. I will still plan to stay at the Mosser Hotel like last year.

More MW
Today was very good full day of Information. There is just too much good stuff to buy and I need it all!
On the list so far is a 120 gig firewire drive, 512 megs of powerbook ram, 128 mgs Of smart Media, and much, much more. It's a good thing I took the train so I can't carry much....
Dale
p.s. I didn't even mention all the iPod goodies!

Newton at MacWorld again...
We are starting to plan another journey to MW in San Francisco and I plan on having my Newton present for live blog updates again. With that and my VisorPhone, another piece of "forgotten technology" I should be adequately connected for all the basics. I expect we will have a powerbook available for hotel connectivity too. It should be quite a fun time including the Amtrak train/bus trip to and from the city.
I'm looking forward to this and will try to keep the newted community informed too.
