Full Tilt on the Mac

by Bill Rini on December 23, 2005

Shhhhhhhhhhhh . . . don’t tell anyone but Full Tilt has launched a Mac client beta. Unlike Mac clients offered by other online poker rooms this Mac client is 100% Mac. No Java. No Mac window wrap arounds. Nope. A real all-Mac Mac client.

Geez…why don’t you all just say that? Scray Vegas story…GeekandProud searching 5 diff. ways for me to get online…finally he connected two wires with a torch and hooked it up to his phone…I feel so old around you young kids.

I did just manage to get the windows client to work in wine. It seems like it’s going to be playable, though not great.

Also, cause I’m crazy, this comment is being posted with IE6 running in wine on my Linux laptop. Nuts.
7 April December 23, 2005 at 2:32 am: Oddly enough, I did NOT tell Alan about our dinner conversation on that exact same topic. He mentioned it completely on his own later that night, which further confirms my belief that Alan is some sort of psychic super-human.
8 alan December 23, 2005 at 1:45 am: So when’s the Linux client coming? :)

(yeah, I know, it really doesn’t make sense for them to do it)
