I STILL play CAW on my Macintosh. Believe it or not, it runs without a hitch under System OSX, in "Classic" mode. For that matter, so does Battlefront, at least scenarios done in 256-colours. Warlords II runs as well!
I just think it's amazing that SSG's games are so stable and continue to run after so many years... I really wish they were still being produced for Mac. I bought KP, but can't get it to run on VirtualPC.
I've actually gotten KP to run on my Mac, but it's because it's an Intel Mac and I'm using Boot Camp to run Windows XP. Runs like a charm!

It's not like they are difficult to find... you don't need a special 'Mac' copy, you just need a normal installation CD with XP SP2 or later on it.

My point is that you had to buy it. This makes Macs very expensive.

You can get an Intel Mac mini for 600 dollars. A copy of Windows XP OEM might cost around 140 dollars. That's not a lot of money for a computer. Especially when you consider all the software that comes standard with the Mac that you'd have to spend money to get on Windows... for example a DVD player, DVD creator, Photo editing software, pro audio software, music software... And you never have to worry about the stupid 'Security Center' pestering you to death or asking you to install auto-updates every day.
