    Hey Rockets' faithful...

    I just purchased a MacBook and was wondering if any MacBook users out there have the info on watching Rockets' games on it.

    On my Dell, I used channelsurfing.net to watch our games and now can't get that to work on my new laptop.

    Thanks everyone.

    I was wondering how are you guys watching the games on line. Is there something I need to download.

    I've seen almost every game this season without downloading anything. channelsurfing and those chinese broadcasts seem to require downloads that only work with Windows operating system

    Yeah, that's weird. It doesn't work for me either. But I have it bookmarked and it goes direct to the page with game links. Let me think about this one.

    Not in this lifetime buddy. By the way, the newer Macs will run Windows, so no need to anyway.

    Yeah, and if I tie a Rocket engine to a shopping cart it will go as fast as a car, but does that mean I should? Cause if you're interesting I know a guy who has a stockpile of estes rockets sitting around and collecting dust.

    Ehh because it's fun messing around with Mac fan boys. It's the whole 93% market share thing, it gives Mac users a napoleon complex and its soo much fun to mess with. Try it. Linux guys are fun to mess with too, it's just after a while they get weird...

    I've never been able to actually use channelsurfing.net on my Mac. I have no idea why. I'll try it at game time tonight.

    I have Media Player installed, but the link I provided doesn't work when I click on it.

    However, my bookmarked link, the same exact URL goes directly to the page with the game links.

    Search Flip4Mac in google and download it. Makes it so all those websites that use WMP can now use Quicktime on your mac.

    Then www.Raptorsnation.tk should work.
