Hi! I''m pretty amazed by the features of RoR so far. But, as I come from the desktop application development, my clients expect to run the magic on their domain rather on a foreign one.

Caveat: this is not a discussion about *hosting* a rails app on windows. Anyway...Macs are everywhere you look when researching rails (demo vids, tutorials, and pictures from rails training classes).

I might be buying a Mac tomorrow. I checked out the new 13.3in MacBook at the new Apple Store on 5th ave in NYC. I''m torn between the smaller MacBook and the MacBook Pro.

Hello All, I''m enjoying the simplicity and power of RJS templates in Rails 1.1, but am perplexed about sharing them.
