I've been using a MacBook Pro for some time now. I agree with Matt on all counts. I got one cuz you can run Windows + OS/X on it which is useful for testing. I have to say I still don't get why people rave about them. It's just a computer. Its shiney and pretty and there are some features which

While it sometimes causes other timing problems, the framework sets the properties of a component before rendering the children, and for this precise reason. Pass the xml into the component from the outside and it will be ready for use in rendering. Tracy

I logged a bug: http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FB-15434 It has attached project archives (a library and app), so if anyone has the cycles to verify, vote or provide a workaround, I'd appreciate it. I don't believe it's pertinent, but notice that the project layout follows the Maven standard.

There's a split between the media/creative industry and those who do a real job, err I mean everybody else (that's a joke BTW). Generally speaking Macs are to be found with media/creative/trendy types, but rarely outside that circle. I've lived in a development environment and until I switched

That's not so true any more. I have lots of hard-core geek friends and many of them are moving to OSX because it's got unix under the hood, looks great, has a ton of open-source software available for it and it isn't Microsoft. Those are pretty good reasons if you ask me, and yes, I've

I first switched to a Mac about 3 1/2 years ago, and have had a MBP as my primary system for about 2 years now, though at my new job I've been moved back to an XP box. I'm still on the fence. For development I still feel Windows XP wins hands down - especially with multi-monitor set-ups.

Just in case anybody cares, it is also possible to use Flex Builder on Linux. Since I don't normally use any non-free software, and I do a lot of Linux sys admin, thats good for me. There are a few apps I can't duplicate, like Illustrator and Google Sketchup and Rhino, but mostly I don't miss
