MacCarthy has a Yosemite machine, but I doubt he'd want to bring it. I
was playing Q3 on it the other night and it was very unstable. Of course,
I have a feeling that's because of how MacCarthy runs his machine, rather
than Quake... :)

I played with the Mesaquake drivers tonight and they're really sketchy.
It's like there's lag when you're at a ping of 50. Very jerky.

MacCarthy, what do you think?
