Thanks for reminding me.

I'm just realizing now though that Valve said April for the releases, and I forgot to add Valve time to my expectations.

If macs are so secure then why does this happen every time they put the security up against other operating systems? I bet you are one of those people who thinks that Antarctica has the best military because they have suffered the least attacks of any other country.
I was just saying I just forgot to mention a cliche earlier that your post reminded me of; that of mac security not being the reason it isn't targeted as a platform (with the country bumpkin/no-nothing hipster users that everyone seems to think make up mac users), but rather market penetration.
