I´m just taking the liberty to jump in here.
Is there any sort of tech/system problem with mac users playing with pc users nowadays ?
I can´t remember we had this problem when we first started playing; me and 3 buddies were all on macs, and I´m pretty sure we fought a lot of randoms from europe and the u.s. who were all on pcs.
Edit: btw Smike, feel free to pm me if you want too. I´m looking into going online again with GRC, nothing hardcore atm though, but I all the time I´m able to squeeze in.
