Ok, I'll stick my hand up - I don't use a Mac.
Mac usage seems to be an emergent trend in web development. Generally I use: Sony VAIO laptop (most of the time develop on this), have two desktop PC's - one running windows, one running Linux Debian Sarge. All wireless networked. The quality of the VAIO is amazing - screen is the best I've seen. One difference between PC and Mac is cost - PC's generally cheaper for more processing power. Mac is a great 'whole' product though. Software: PSPro Editor, Cygwin (for bash and other Unix flavoured goodies) and of course latest Python. I've been tempted to buy a Mac on a number of occasions but I can't justify it on style alone. They're quite expensive (in the UK at least) and my current setup is doing everything I need it to. Biggest difference for me with regards to Mac is being able to test on Safari - not just css/html issues either but interactive Javascript testing. Luckily there's Mac emulation which should be good enough to run Safari. Also for Mac's you can get PC emulators (you Mac developers *are* testing on IE6 at least? :-) ) Justin > > From: Robin Haswell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Date: 2006/03/24 Fri AM 09:33:01 GMT > To: [email protected] > Subject: [TurboGears] [OT] What is it with Macs? > > > I'm genuinely interested, why is it that nearly every developer for TG > (that produces a video at least) seems to own a Mac?
