Ok so I'm buying a Macbook soon and I know that macs come with the application known as Disk Utility... I know that Disk Utility can be used to make disk images, does this mean that I can install warcraft III the original and warcraft III the frozen throne so that I won't need the disks anymore when I want to play? I hate carrying around the discs in a small case it's just annoying I own full-fledged, legal copies of both games i just don't want to carry around the discs. Can Disk Utility fix my problem?

BTW: I want to hook my macbook up to my 33" CRT TV the only options I have for inputs are Composite(Video game console cords) and S-Video, which one should I get and which cords do I need?

Thanks,
SamsungFTW

I think what you're talking about is How To Play Mac Games Without CDs/DVDs. I'm pretty sure Disk Utility works with WarCraft III & Frozen Throne. I haven't played for a while so I don't know if Blizzard has since made some silly patch to prevent this, but it used to work.

You would need a Mini-DVI to VGA Adapter and of course either an S-Video or Composite cable. S-Video gives better picture quality.
