                    also, the way Randel writes his code, and the way his engines 
                    are developed, they are very easily portable from PC to Macintosh, 
                    to console, without naming specifically Dreamcast or Playstation 
                    2, and there's no reason at this point why it shouldn't be 
                    very easy. But once again, like Jeff said, there would have 
                    to be some compromises. Like it doesn't have as much memory 
                    and whatnot as a PC would. </font></p>

                    it's no secret that Mark Randel doesn't like Microsoft that 
                    much. So when he builds an engine, he doesn't rely on Microsoft 
                    for anything. He makes his code do everything that needs to 
                    be done as much as possible. So when it comes to porting all 
                    you have to do is figure out, ok, what did Mark do that takes 
                    the place of this aspect of DirectX, but we don't have to 
                    worry about that because we're working on the Mac. All you 
                    have to do is take his engine, which is all high-level code, 
                    and make a small builder that will allow the code to compile 
                    on that platform. It's not that important actually. We just 
                    like bragging about Mark. </font></p>
