Right now I have an iMac, but I''m considering buying a Macbook or Mac Book Pro and then selling my iMac, and then also getting a large display 24" or 30" (depending whether I go macbook or mac book pro). If anyone would like to give me feedback regarding this dilemma, that would be great. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

I have a MacBook Pro with a 30" display and I still wish for more screen space. I keep TextMate open in a window that is about 1/2 the screen. The other half gets about 2-3 Terminal windows for the server and general command use. THen there are numerous browser windows and such that are in front or behind as needed. I would like a second 30" to put all the reference material and the browser window I am using for testing. That way I could look at it all at once. If Apple announces new displays soon I may get there. At the same time, it is possible to work on just the MacBook Pro screen when traveling, I just do more window management.

Really really want a Mac, but for now it''s either Windows (work computer) and CMD or on Linux at home, bash, with Vim and Firefox (firebug, webdev). I''m a command-line junkie, but man, TextMate for Windows would ROCK (yes, I''ll eventually give e a try).

Hi all, 2007/3/20, Jason Roelofs <jameskilton@gmail.com>:> Really really want a Mac, but for now it's either Windows (work computer) > and CMD or on Linux at home, bash, with Vim and Firefox (firebug, webdev).I just switched to Ubuntu from Windows XP. Very good so far. I reported on my changes here: http://blog.teksol.info/articles/2007/03/19/now-on-ubuntu Jason, on Windows, you should try the e Text Editor: http://www.e-texteditor.com/. It uses the same bundles as TextMate, except it runs on Windows. Before I switched to Ubuntu, that's what I was using exclusively.

you have to get a program like VirtueDesktop. in my setup, i have one open for all my terminals, and 1 web browser, the second more web browers and reference material, the third environment is for graphics editing. i am running a 30" and a 17" mbp. to the original poster, i highly recommned the 24" but if you got money to spare, the 30" is awesome. when i start making some money, id like to get a imac 24" connected to my 30" dell. or maybe just get a mac pro with duel 30''s!.

I have 2 x 19" LCDs from the legacy of my Windows development past, but haven''t bought a dvi adaptor yet. To be honest I love my MacBook and screen realestate hasn''t proven to be a problem developing rails apps. I love the portability, and it pretty much goes where I do. A spare battery and a shoulder satchel/bag will be my next purchases though. I guess I could use a larger desktop for Flash development, and Aperture, but I''m pretty happy with it as it is. I don''t know if I could handle being tethered anymore. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

I thought only one monitor per a graphics card? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

I got the MacBook Pro 17" with the 7200-rpm drive option, and it ships with 2 gigs of ram. I also picked up a second monitor by Gateway. They have a nice 22" HD LCD (model FPD2275W) for around $400 at Best Buy that has a great picture and connects via DVI. I''m quite happy. The MacBooks are nice too but I got tired of command-tabbing around my 12" Powerbook screen all the time.

I plan on using one of them, I''d use both if I could though. I sort of miss that capability. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
