I happen to be relatively experienced with both. While I would hesitate to give an absolute label of "confusing" to PCs, Macs are far easier.

But what about the poor lusers who do have to call them?

They take up way more. Reference the new iMac, and how little space it takes up. Or the now-defunct cube.

Being legal makes it good and morally correct? Adultery is legal in the US too.

Very true, at least by comparison to Macs, which I think would be the only meaningful standard.

When it has better performance anyway, why not go for looks too?

That's entirely subjective, but I'll bet you lose a vote on this (Mac dominated) board.

2: I've been trying to practice against the comps. But they always do this incredibly annoying thing. I'm building up my force, when all of a sudden they send in this huge force of things I can't hope to beat with anything less than a bunch of siege tanks. How?**
- Yes, just let them fire w/o orders. As a rule of thumb, do that with everything. In general, it's more effective to just let them fire and not give them a specific target. There are circumstances where it is appropriate - but in most it isn't.
Additionally, I suggest putting the Marines and Medics in separate control groups anyway. This makes it much easier to StimPak the Marines. StimPak + Medics = Good.
- Basically, all I can say here is practice. Pretty much all Starcraft players who aren't frickin' geniuses have that problem at first. Eventually, you'll learn to build quickly enough that a Computer's rush is just pathetic. I often don't have many more units when they first attack me (unless I take them down before they attack, of course
), but the computer is so inept at command during battle that it's easy to squash them with an equal force. I would recommend not using Power Overwhelming. If you'd like, I can put up or email you some replays of me squashing comps so you can get some idea how to build up early on. Campaign missions wouldn't be a bad idea either.

Probably, and if that doesn't work, you can always look at the Finder tags on another replay in ResEdit and fix them.

I was astounded at how they handled the initial attack against your base. Not only did they totally waste any initiative that they started out with, they managed to send in thier massive attack force in bite sized chunks for you to decamate at your leasure. All in all it was a great game anyway, and I dont think my Terran stratagy will ever be the same
