At my old job I also dealt with Apple development. I'm not saying Macs are bad but a little over-hyped (sorta like something else we know). And I do have an old Blueberry iMac here gathering dust. I will be probably be picking up a used mini Mac to put port some software to using the Fast Light Toolkit. That's one of the things that bugs me about capitalism is we have all these competing OS's and no common GUI APIs. That's why I like to use cross platform layers like FLTK and wxWidgets.
