What other mac? :)

The CVS tools are a direct port of the usual cvs tools.  It's UNIX.  The
stuff was ported right over....

The editor I was using was a pure-java IDE, IDEA.

I won't tell you to go either way (as I hate when people are disappointed by
things I suggest), but I can only lead by example :)

I really enjoy my macs, I just bought a new desktop, and I love it. I  still
think that the Apple hardware is more expensive than PC hardware on a
checkpoint basis (i.e. USB (check), firewire (check), 1.5GB Ram (check),
etc...)

But there is an amazing design sense that still comes from apple and I think
is worth the money.

For example, to transfer data from my laptop to my desktop, I can bring up
the ibook as a firewire drive - it doesn't boot to the OS, but just acts
like an external drive.

So I hook it to my desktop with a firewire cable, and automatically the
partitions of the ibook drive appear as drives on my mac desktop.  Very
cool.  Very transparent. Very simple.  Very fast :)

Also, the desktop machine (which is MP) is able to go into *deep* sleep to
save energy, and still come back near instantly.  I walk into the room,
touch the spacebar, and before I am firmly seated and ready to work, the mac
has woken up and is ready.
