[postal2mac] First Impressions...

[Zack Brock]

Are the slow load times a bug and specific to this Mac port, or was this also a 'feature' of the 
Windows version?

You think it was bad going from RWS to the Bank... just wait until you have to Piss On Dad in the 
cemetary at the top left of the map and then do something else (forgot) at the bottom right of the 
map on Wednesday. That is taking me all day (literally!) to accomplish.


Thanks!
