in from the cold...

It has been far too long, but I have finally succombed once again to the siren song of the Subsim radio Room. After a year of playing GWX nightly, I decided that the arrival of SH4 would give me a chance to step back and cure my various U-boat related ailments (Periscope elbow, Hydro-ear...etc).
I would sometimes pause the mouse over my bookmark while scrolling through my favorites, but each time I was able to avoid pressing the left-mouse button.
I continued to stockpile U-boat related literature but slowly the keyboard commands that had been hardwired into my brain began to fade, and the various mods which i had stockpiled and added over many months began to confuse me whenever i would encounter them in windows Explorer.

Sometime next week i will take delivery of a 24" iMac with 2.8ghz intel core 2 extreme, 4gigs of DDR2 SDRAM, and a 1TB hardrive. I tremble in anticipation.

If those of you reading this post inform me that i will be able to play SH3 GWX on my Mac using the bootcamp program, I fear that i will once again be plunged into a bottomless pit of hardcore gaming from which i may never emerge.
Am I doomed to count down my remaining days plotting targets on my beautiful new computer in my dark basement, or will I only be able to don my Kaleun's cap on my old but trusty garage relegated rig?

"Help me Obi-Wan Kenobi, You're my only hope."
