Don't worry about the files, they'll copy over fine. Follow my guide on how to copy them over (it's in my signature).|

Not that I think OSX can't do it - I just don't know how CIDER will take to it.

Thank you!
And the specs off the top of his head: 2.16 (2.2?) GHz Core2Duo, 2 GB RAM, 150GB HD. He thinks its got built-in ATI video, too. I'm happy, either way

That's an older model, so it's not going to run CoH at the highest settings, but it should do reasonably well.

Thanks again for the help!
I've got a friend who might give me his old Mac Book Pro. As such, there's a good chance that I will install COH on there so I can have it on the go (no idea what the specs are, but since its a Pro, that means dedicated GPU to me versus Intel's horrible "why is this in a Mac" garbage from that era).
Now, this will not be my primary machine, but inspiration (and fun moments) can come at the drop of a hat as you know. As such:
