That we can run Windows in Boot Camp on our $3500 Mac Pros but have no options for graphics cards other than an increasingly elderly 512MB ATI to run games is the real tragedy - not having to put anti-virus on and use basic common sense for security. And why would you say you really hope he will stay away from a Windows machine and stay 'all Mac'? He isn't going to be doing much gaming on a Mac and the shame here is that Apple gets it enough to provide Boot Camp but we are still forced to shell out for a separate Windows PC if we want use our games with an adequate graphics card. Switch to Macs. Then back to PC's. Come on already Apple.
