    Sorry if I'm lazy but I have a Mac and I can't compile any of the github sources on it, and even if I could I don't even know how you would compile it to .app since it seems like it could only do it to .exe -___-.

    Simon how do YOU compile it to the OS X and if someone can be nice, can they post here a compiled version of the most recent github one? Simons branch lol.

    LMFAO I hope you are trolling. If you aren't, I'm not even going to bother debunking your post for you, not worth my time.

    What the hell is your problem? You're acting like an eight year old. I don't like Macs either, but I realize that some people prefer them. They do have many good qualities, for example, the build quality on the MacBook Pros are amazing and I know a lot of people think the UI is more intuitive. The programs do not run laggy (I work with a 2 year old iMac at school), and the lag in Fireworks is probably because 1) Fireworks is bloated or 2) It's a really old Mac. I might be wrong, but I think double-clicking is just double tapping the trackpad on the laptops. And both Mac and Windows did take ideas from each other - that's called competition. If they didn't do that occasionally, both OSs would be nowhere near where they are now. Macs can't run an .exe application just the same that Windows can't run an .app. I believe the new Macs run on 5770s? That's overkill for TPT. Anyway, most of the older ones should be able to handle TPT fine, just like any old PC should be able to handle TPT fine.

    It's actually 2 finger on trackpack + click/tap :P! Works fast as hell for me. Took about 1/2 of getting used to.

    Ok maybe for those who don't know and would like to know, you could run .exe on Mac's, using wine which is the most 'basic' way and it works very well. Crossover is a more robust commercial version. For people who use Linux, might already know this but they're available for Linux as well I get mine from a special resource cough*.

    No OS war x) just 'educating' some people.

    That's great, this isn't the place for your opinion, if you want to share your opinions make your own topic so your 'opinion' won't be as irrelevant as it is in this one.

    I think you're just going to have to compile it yourself.
