As far as I know you'll be pretty hard pressed to find Development tools for a MAC (programming I mean). MAC just isn't a developers platform, though from what I've heard OSX has changed that a bit.
But even still, I've heard that even software which is written *for* a MAC, is typically developed on a VAX system.
I'd get yourself a PC if you really wanted to get into programming.
I heard MacOS X comes with complete development tools

So easy to use, no wonder it's number one!!!

wow! hope that's true https://www.sharkyforums.com/images/.../2005/06/5.gif
anyways, i only ask because i'm thinking 'bout getting a powerbook for college. it'd be nice to have a notebook, and my gaming system i will leave at home. usc isn't too far from where i live, and i plan on coming back during the weekends....
as for alternatives such as inspirons, i'd probably game more than study, so macs are a nice alternative...
The most popular Mac development software is codewarrior. They do a student edition for $99... http://www.metroworks.com

Now I just gotta wonder if it's worth it to buy a notebook, and if a TiBook will be worth it. Seeing as how nothing was announced during the keynote 'bout any upgrades, and the external cd-rw promotion ends september, it makes me wonder if something will get updated soon...
