    Ughh..... However, I started in, and still use quite often, text editors for BASIC, C++, etc so I'm not adverse to using them, just enjoy some of the nice features in the latest .Net EID's.

    I'm open to new environments and look forward to learning a new OS. Also, feel free to put your 2¢ in at any time. I'm constantly looking to educate myself! Thanks!

    Might want to take a stab at getting a Lion or Snow Leopard VM up and running to get your feet wet before you make that purchase.
    That right there is a damn good idea! I have Virtual machines on my PC but I thought they were limited to Windows based only. (I don't have VMWare, just Virtual PC.) I might be able to score a VM server though..... Hmm.. Thanks!

      You can make one with VMware Player (its free), you won't get accelerated graphics but it should give you enough functionality for your development work.

        Awesome! I've used that app before and don't really care about graphics, especially if I'm just typing in a text editor.
