You will need a copy of Windows XP or above to go along with your bootcamp. I'm still hoping somebody will figure out how to get RA2 to work with DarWINE.

If you've noticed a reduction in my posting frequency, it's because I have a fancy new job. That is all.

hey guys i'm pretty sick atm vomitting and would like to know how to stay calm and control it better.
thanks.
There really isn't any "control." If you need to vomit, then vomit. As far as staying calm, I don't know. Just remember that it will be over eventually.
Listen to him. Vomiting is sort of the body's way of flushing the system. Make sure to stay hydrated by drinking lots of water (especially after emptying your stomach contents) and try to eat light things here and there like crackers. (The salt in the crackers will also help restore electrolytes).

In news that doesn't suck, I shall be moving across the state tomorrow. I'm moving in with some friends until I found my own apartment, so I don't have much packing to do.
If I remember correctly, you're in Washington? Which direction are you moving across state?
I am going from south west Washington (right on the Oregon-Washington border) to eastern Washington (right on the Idaho-Washington border). I lived there a couple years back, so it's familiar territory.

The remainder of their computers include three notebooks and an all-in-one. Built in cameras and mice are standard for these types of devices.
*starts fight about weather or not the Ipad is a computer*
It's a computer in the sense that a phone or a Kindle is a computer. I don't think anybody (including Apple) considers it a computer in the traditional sense.

I mean when someone wants their broken internal webcam or internal mic fixed without spending the money to buy a new one, they have two options. They can either repair it, or send it in (if its under warranty). If you own a mac, and your internal webcam breaks, and you want to send it in, you can't take apart the computer, send in the webcam, and expect to get a fixed one back for nothing. You'd have to send the whole thing in. If you bought a webcam bundled with your PC and it's covered by warranty, all you need to do is detach the cam and send it in. You can keep using your computer while someone in india fixes (or in most cases, replaces), your broken hardware. Say you want to try and fix it yourself instead. Fixing a usb webcam is going to be a pain (if possible), but its going to be more of a pain fixing a webcam that you have to open up your entire computer in order to get to.
At least with notebooks/netbooks, most PCs also come with built in webcams and mics. Example: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834220700Tearing into that would void the warranty just as much as tearing into an Apple. If a built in webcam breaks on your Apple or other brand of PC, the options are the same: 1) Do nothing. 2) Void your warranty and tear into the thing. 3) Send it in for repair. 4) Just buy an external webcam. Oh, and not all Apples have built in webcams. The Mac mini (which now has an easy to unscrew bottom) and Mac Pro (essentially an Apple branded tower PC) only have built in webcams if you buy an Apple branded monitor.

I adjusted to it fine, I just didn't like it. Fair enough. I didn't know that about the mice. The one I used in school was a one button. In 2005, Apple released the Mighty Mouse which looks like a one button mouse with a scroll nipple, but it's really a three button mouse with a squeezable fourth button on the sides. Although the whole shell clicks, it has touch sensors so it knows what part of the mouse you're clicking. They just recently released the Magic Mouse which reduces the "buttons" to two, but adds a bunch of multi-touch gestures to its glass surface. And of course, any bluetooth or USB mouse will also function with OS X. As for the part about more complicated functions, I'm sorta gonna have to go on a little tandem to explain.
One of the things I had to do on one of these computers was use a word processor (I think it was a Mac version of MS Word, ironically enough). Now, I don't know if it's changed since then (it's been some time) but the interface was pretty much blank. Well this is just fine if all you want to do is type and save crap, however the teacher wanted us to muck about with text properties and add images and do a bunch of other stuff. This was stuff I could do rather easily with the cluttered windows interface, I knew what all the little buttons did and how to use them. However, the mac interface was blank. I had to either navigate through the dropdown menus or bring up a little tool window that just floated around in limbo until you used it.
It's kinda like that analogy picture comparing the mac and PC to the tricycle and motorbike. Word 2004 looks like this:  All of your formatting needs are on screen without having to navigate through drop down menus. Somebody probably closed the formatting box window on the machine you used. Well perhaps they can be upgraded, but I most certain the amount of customization you can have on a store bought mac isn't on par with that of store bought PCs (unless you get a Dell, lol at their nonstandard parts). Also, I like how everything is external on PCs whereas everything is internal on macs. Sure, you get the cool looking computer-all-in-one package for macs, but what if something (say a microphone or webcam) breaks? Then you either gotta open it up and fix it yourself, which is probably gonna be a pain, or send the whole thing in to apple. With a PC you just unplug the defective part, fix/replace it, and plug it back in.
When I upgrade my RAM, I just buy the regular old PC stuff from Newegg. On my MacBook, I just pop off the battery, and the compartment is there. On my PowerMac G3, there is a door on the side that has a handle. A simple pull on the handle opens up the door where I have access to literally everything. The motherboard (or "logic board", as Apple likes to call them) is on the door. The Mac mini is a little bit harder, but it can be opened without much effort. As for everything being external, what the are you talking about? Macs have been USB compatible since the original iMac. If your mic breaks, buy a Logitech USB one for like $20. Web cam breaks? Buy a USB or FireWire one for like $20. Most of the time, you don't even need to install any drivers. And if you haven't noticed, built in webcams and mics are pretty much standard with non-Macs these days as well.

Go easy on him Nar.
Unless the kid is "special needs" nobody should go easy on the fellow.

I care that people have gone out of their way to help the new people with tutorials and what not and a select few have chosen to ignore pretty much all help and as sage said this is a RA2 forum we should all care otherwise why are we here?
Have you considered that some people don't want to build bots your way? Perhaps they prefer a simpler bot with a cool chassis and paint job to a small box with 40,000 spikes.

I had some at my school also. They weren't underpowered or lacking decent programs, I just didn't like the interface. If your only experience is from school, could it be because you never adjusted to the non-Windows UI? The lack of a second mouse button/scroll wheel was annoying and the way they tried to simplify everything made it more difficult and annoying to do more complicated functions. Macs have supported multi-button mice since at least 2001, and have had first party multi-button mice since 2005. And what more complicated functions are you referring to? Also, you can't upgrade a mac, which is a huge turn-off for me 'cus I just like opening up computers and tinkering with them.
Then why have I upgraded every Mac I've ever owned?
