Just a quick post here. I know I’ve mentioned for a few posts here about how ‘mouse settings’ in Quake would crash most of my Macs. I found the culprit today. It was the ‘Software Update’ extension, which in my mind, really doesn’t make any sense. But with it off, Quake works 100% fine, mouse settings and all.
Go figure… 
P.S. Officially, the Quake LAN is now 5-player! (more to come)
I had some time early this morning, and I mean early, so I finally got around to hooking up and testing the Quake LAN. For now I have just four machines, three from last year and a brand new one for this year (even though it is an old machine). It was nice to get the LAN running on a new router, with only one hiccup for the hours that I tested it (hiccup – as in one machine crash – it happens). I’m still shooting for an all iMac G3 LAN this year, so I have more machines to work on, but at least I’ve got it officially started.
So at this point in time, the Quake LAN is ‘four-player’. This should go up to at least ‘eight’ by show time, but I won’t make announcements on that until the equipment is ready for it. Just glad to get it started!
