I just want to make this known so it doesn't come as too much of a surprise to anyone.
As many of you likely know, I've made attempts to get SS13 to run on my new Macbook Air, with near success two or three months ago. However, before that, and still today, I've run SS13 on my crappy school-issued netbook, and seeing how the school year is nearing an end, I may not be able to join in during summer unless I manage to get my emulator to access our server without it saying "Oh, you wanted THE GAME MAP/SCREEN? HOW SILLY OF YOU TO WANT SUCH A THING!". The only other way is to see if I can POSSIBLY purchase the netbook from the school, which seems unlikely. I'll see if I can set it up again, but I can't make any promises, since Wine is a very fickle creature, more or less demanding that you configure which version of the Wine engine (There's A LOT of versions due to accumulated updates over the years) you want each individual application to run on, otherwise you run the risk of it either being incompatible or running like total crap. Then there's the matter of finding which additional services/plugins I need to install for the virtual drive, like the "mfc42" needed for SS13. Basically, getting SS13 to run as close to the real thing as I did in the past was an exercise of the limits to my patience and sanity, and what's worse, I don't remember how exactly I did it before.
Bottom line, I have no space left on my hard drive for Windows 7 and I have to deal with this crap. I should get a Nobel Prize or something from the amount of time and effort I dedicated for getting it to run...

And this is why I don't use a Mac... 7/10 games I play aren't compatable 9/10 indie/hipster/uncommon games I play don't have a Mac version

Well, it's either that, or I try to run Steam on a crap netbook made in 2010. Personally, I prefer the former, especially since I've managed to solve the issue of which emulators to use, along with having set them up. Besides, it's better than the netbook.
