Being in a stereotypical corporate environment, I have to use a Windows machine at work but I've used nothing but Macs at home for years. There is nothing I can't do on my Mac that I can't do on my Windows PC, though as some have mentioned there are some things in a corporate world that are a

Hm. Ok, I see. Wasn't thinking that way. Yes, the laptops can mirror to any size display, but there is only one video out port, so you would have to split. Isn't that the case with --most-- laptops? Looks like the thread has some good info about how the hardware works and what is

I bought a laptop stand and use my 17 macbook pro with a wireless keyboard and mouse. No complaints here. 17 is plenty big enough for hacking out CF etc. It would be nice to have a 20+ inch widescreen but, honestly who needs dual monitors with a desktop manager? On Sat, Apr 12, 2008 at 1:59 PM,

I've been reading this thread with some amusement. I have used a Mac OS X machine for CF development for a very long time. There's absolutely no reason why you can't use a Mac OS X machine as your primary CF development machine. Your mileage might vary a little, as Howard pointed out,

OK this is probably a good question for Dean! I am now highly considering getting a mac to further develop the creative aspects of what I do. I understand that some developers have moved to Mac and use the VMWare to run windows applications. My questions are: If developing on a Mac would I

When you upgrade, I believe you can upgrade to the mac version from PC version. I've heard of people trying to run these apps in VMs, with little success b/c they're so resource intensive. Just my two cents. ap On Apr 11, 2008, at 12:26 PM, Dusty Hale wrote: OK this is probably a good

This a great question, and one I'll be interested in following. I don't have a Mac myself, but after flailing with Vista on my dell laptop my friend got a Mac Book Pro, and watching how quickly and easily it runs definitely makes me jealous. Granted they are just a casual user, so I just keep

Dusty- If you are going to switch to a mac I'd try to run everything on the native mac OS that you can. IIRC, Adobe will allow you to switch your PC based licenses to mac based ones, but there may be a catch or two attached. Seems I remember something about only being able to do that once per

You don't have to miss it. Without external hardware you can run an external monitor at the same time as using the onboard LCD (mirrored or not). If you buy a Matrox DualHead2Go you can run two external monitors with the onboard. Howard On Fri, Apr 11, 2008 at 10:36 PM, Douglas Knudsen [EMAIL
