  Further Your CS Development with Mac OS X

I was just considering selling my iBook. Mostly because configuring network equipment forces me to use PC's. That's OK at work (but a hassle), going back to school, it might not be.


Most people here are talking about development. Let me add...my courses will use mostly java for programming. Between Netbeans, Eclipse, and Xcode ... I don't know which to use, maybe time will tell, but wish there was an answer.


Anybody had to upload firmware to AP's, routers, switches etc... all the time with OS X? Lack of legacy ports and, I believe, a lot of install utils for this type of equipment is W32.


Can anybody who does a lot of network equipment integration comment?


For me it might be a Dell soon...
