Update on Altivec Q3:A
updated 06:32 pm EST, Mon January 15, 2001
Graeme Devine of id Software has posted an update to the Quake3World forums concerning his progress on the Altivec enhanced version of Quake III: Arena. Devine notes that a bug with the Metrowerks compiler and certain Altivec code means that the Altivec enhancements will likely only be available in the Mac OS X version until the compiler bug is fixed by Metrowerks. "Considering Apple's pride in the Altivec," notes Devine, "it's somewhat frustrating to not be able to show it off!"

Frustrating, I was so amped up and checking every few hours to see when it'd come out, and now he tells us it's gonna be even longer. I would have rather not known it was even being worked on if I knew I was gonna have my hopes shattered every other day.
Santa Claus wouldn't do this to me, he'd never say "Tomorrow is Xmas day! You'll get your new toy." and then a week later "The elves are having a union dispute, it'll be a few more days" nor would he a week later say "The FFA has grounded my sley".
