Most of us use our Macs to do important things. Reports, studies, forms, essays, spreadsheets and illustrations are just a few of the things open on my desktop at any given moment. I work, therefore I am. I think that's how the saying goes.
But occasionally I need to take a break so I don't start thinking of my Mac as the enemy. Sometimes I need to have a little fun and use my Mac for something that isn't related to a deadline or schedule.
This is where games come in - little diversions that let my mind unwind.
