Mac Gaming Mods

Hi-
This is a bit long, but it matters a lot to me so bear with me.

I had the worst luck and got myself kicked off the computer AGAIN right as we ordered an new one- A G5! After about a week my mom let me back on a little, but i can't play halo- possibly forever!

She thinks a: It messes up the computer, causing glitches in other apps.
This has some merit, as on our old G4 glitches did increase around the time i got halo demo, then more when i got Full. However, that comps is packed to the brim with software and it may not have been halo's fault... Regardless, I wont be downloading any full mods, which carry the most risk for viruses.
b: It's a waste of time. I will have to argue that one out for myself.

I a: tried to tell her that mac's basically dont get viruses, and
b: tell her that when summer arrives in 2 wks that ill have so much time on my hands halo wont be a waste at all
But no avail.. yet.

I need all your guys' help. I assume most of you have a G5 with Tiger, and would appreciate a few posts reassuring her that Halo doesn't hurt the computer at all, as I'm sure it must not. PLEASE!!!

P.S. If any1 sees any1 from my clan {jihad}, please tell them that i have be grounded and cant play for a couple of weeks. They're probably wondering. They may have Sesame Street names in all caps, such as ERNIE or BERT.

I have been playing halo / halo demo on the mac for some time now and have had no problems or "viruses" that have resulted from it. I can reassure you that excess software is more likely to blame for your past problems than a video game. video games are made for people like us to have fun and do not mess up computers.

The only problems I have had are with Halo itself. In which case I re-download it (Never had problems with full).

If there where virus's you would have to give the installer a root password, and last time i checked ppfs don't need to be installed, so thats how you find out if somethings a virus or not.

P.S. i've owned macs for all my life and games have never screwed them up.

Thanks! I dunno if it'll help, but it cant hurt. The more the better! Hope to see u all in a couple wks.

The only time games screwed up anything was when my last computer fried itself from Start Menu overdose. It was way too big for the screen .

Guess what it was?
