| Can I run Blitz Max on a just purchased (May 1, 2007) Intel Mac-mini with the 1.83 Ghz Core Duo processor? (512mb memory, 80 gig dr. Intel shared graphics) What are the Apple installs (Xcode? , Carbon? any others?) necessary? I don't know much about Mac's or BMax yet- but I have used Blitz-3d for several years. Thanks! |

| Should be fine. The only thing that you will need to install is X-Code, which will be on the OS X DVD. |

| I don't know why, reading the forum issues on the Intel Macs left me feeling confused.... Thanks JazzieB! I will be ordering BlitzMax soon! RealBasic appeals to the VB side of me, but I noticed it is really "wordy" and not what I want to learn all over again. |

| There shouldn't be any problems, I've been running BlitzMax on my new Intel Mac for a few months now and haven't had any problems yet, after installing XCode. |

| REALbasic is great if you need rock solid cross-platform GUI apps - and if you know VB, it's very easy to pick up. For more graphics-oriented (read Games), BlitzMax is pretty much unbeatable as an easy-to-use cross-platform language. As Jazzie says, install XCode and you should be ready to go! |
