Brett Your dreams will come true.
I run on a TiBook 800MHz, 512MB Ram 40 Gig Hard drive. Sean Corfield of MM has a similar config. CFMX runs Great! There were several threads on CF-Talk where people were comparing run times of CFMX templates. In each of these, CFMX ran as fast or faster that most Intel boxes with more RAM and processors twice the speed. The TiBook had no special performance settings (trusted cache, etc) -- only the default settings. even performed well compared to many Dual-processor Intel boxes. There were a couple of Solaris boxes that were quite a bit faster than all the others. You can look at the archives -- Sean had similar timings to mine. While these are only representative, they showed that the Mac was a really good performer. One reason that may contribute to the Mac's performance is this: Supposedly, some Apple engineers rewrote and optimized some of the underlying JRE code. They then gave this back to Sun for inclusion in the Apple JRE as well as other platforms. When I wrote the O'Reilly article & did the original Linux to OS X port, I did not have the TiBook -- I used a 233 MHz iMac G3 96M RAM, 6 Gig hard drive. The port was agony, because of the emulated Linux install and the emulated Linux CFMX install. But the ported CFMX runs fine on this machine (I recently upgraded to 256MB RAM). You should have no problems with MySQL running on the same box -- in fact I have run (on the TiBook) with all of the following databases accessible concurrently (all dbs are running on the same TiBook): PointBase Embedded (CFMX Examples, etc). PointBase Server (CFMX PetMarket Blueprint) FileMaker FrontBase MySQL OpenBase OpenLink to MS-Access under VPC Emulation Oracle PostgreSQL Sybase You can get free (Developer or Trial) versions of all of these except MS-Access. So, you should be able to walk into a client's office: connect to his network (wireless or ethernet) suck in his data (MS-Access) or connect to his db, Write a few simple ad hoc CFMX templates (e.g., a company phone list) Demonstrate a web site with Dynamic Pages -- using the client's data All this, with no prep time!
