Well, OS X is a commercial Unix, so if you want to program, what do you want to use?
C? C++? Perl? Python? tcl/tk? Java? Objective-C? awk? sed? sh? Compilers and interpreters for all those languages should be available for you right out of the gate. My favorite language of all time is Python, and you might enjoy working with that. I believe the Python build that ships with Jaguar/Panther contains a tk toolkit (or some other windowing widget) that will let you create native Carbon/Quartz applications. You can also run any X-Window apps directly in OS X. Have fun! - Jim Matthew Small wrote: >OK, I got a new eMac delivered yesterday, and I set it up last night.
