Correct me if I'm wrong, but it looks like even the new MacBooks won't 
run this - only the MacBooks Pro will. (Or MacBook Pros(e), or whatever 
the plural of MacBook Pro is...)

And the Intel Mac mini won't run it either.

The current and many of the older G5 towers, and the last model of G5 
iMac, but none of the PowerBooks - after two years of being in the era 
where ****table computers sold more than desktop models.

And for those young designers with high power G5 towers, I don't see 
them favoring building worlds in Civ over blasting worlds in WoQuaLO.

Ah well, I'll buy that last copy of Civ3 at SmallDog and go with that.
