Felipe,
Thank you for your reply.
Do you have a Intel or PowerPC machine? And what kind of software
do you
wish to develop?
I have not purchased the machine yet, looking at the MacBook with 4
meg of
memory. I do not want to buy a laptop that runs Microsoft, trying to
get
away from them.
I am a developer and have two Solaris boxes and two windows boxes,
this
machine is just for my own enjoyment. I would like to program
"personal"
stuff while watching TV.
Just want to make sure I can use Java or Pascal (prefer Pascal)
before I
spend the 2,000 plus dollars.
For java, this should be familiar to you :
http://developer.apple.com/java/
For Pascal, it seems that the terminal is already a closed friend and
fpc works very well under Darwin.
Vim/Emacs are enough to make programs using fpc.
If you need an IDE, Lazarus (with the Carbon Interface) for OS X
becomes to be good for working with it (and native Cocoa bindings are
on the way)
Moreover, with a MacBook, you can use VMWare for emulating a Linux,
SunOS (x86) or even Windows.
It is a delight for Cross-platform programs.
Thanks again and anything else you wish to add I do appreciate it.
George
