17" MacBook Pro,12" iBook or an Eee-901 (running Crunchbang Statler), perhaps even the N900, all via ssh to a scratchbox on my quad-core desktop linux box

Oh, I've got QtCreator and MADDE installed on my MacBook Pro now, too, but I'm just finding my way around that, although I've built/deployed the example projects onto the N900 and all seems good.

Is any Flash developer here that can explain me why is kind of fashion to have Mac Book Pro to deal with flash on it? I will Ignore the political reasons, but usability to develop something on osx is just pain in ***! An there is no Flash Develop on Mac grrrhhh... I just don't get it. For me this "platform" is not developer friendly at all. An you had to overpaid for that

OS X has vi, gcc and make. That should be more than enough for any developer

I've no comments on Flash, other then I run flashblock in firefox and youtube is about the only place I need to enable it. Flash can go into Room 101, along with Active-X as far as I'm concerned.
