Mac Mini + Quake Review

[Baker]

Baker,
Use "Command + Shift + 3" To capture the whole screen. It should save it to your desktop.
If you want to select the field you want to capture, use "Command + Shift + 4"

Yeah, I know about the capture whole screen keys but I also need a capture window key (to clipboard). So far at least, I can't get the built-in screenshot keys to do what I want to do (I can't rule out for that I'm not doing something wrong with the selection tool, but I can't seem to capture a specific window without actually outlining the selection, which is slow and times more time than I want).

But I found a great widget addon Screenshot Plus (free) and it solved all my problems. It can capture whatever you want direct to the clipboard or the hard drive and has a lot of different options.

Me, for one, coundn't resist the lure of a windows game rig.
It's really hard to come back to Quake on the Mac (outside of vanilla Q lan co-op )

Well, maybe that will end up changing. At least the non-Tenebrae stuff, hehe.

I've never tried Quake & Bootcamp. Anybody?

If you ever find out how to do that or run across a site with good instructions, share!

• Apple Bootcamp installation (Intel Macs only) and Setup Guide is here (pdf)
  
• Another tuto here
  
• You can find here interesting Quake 4 benchmarks, comparing the native OS X and the PC+Bootcamp versions

Once you're done with the install of Bootcamp/XP or Vista, reboot the Mac on Windows, install Quake... and report here how it works!!!

I'll have to locate my OEM Windows XP cd and hope it works with this. It's service pack 1 and it states you need service pack 2 so hopefully installing sp1 and doing an update will solve.

Will be something fun to try on a rainy day.
