I spy a Mac

The winds are changing…
Here I am at 05:00 GMT, having uninstalled Napster, researching MacBook Pros, installing the latest iTunes on my windows laptop that irritates me now, playing around with containers in Ruby using the latest nighly build of the Netbeans Ruby IDE (19Mb).
The Netbeans Ruby IDE has intellisense and hover over docs. Two of THE most important development aids for someone, like me, getting to grips with a new language. For the more seasoned Ruby developers it has support for JRuby and Rails, project support, Rake builds, a debugger and the beginnings of a refactoring engine that comes with a little warning 
- WARNING: Ruby refactoring is not accurate! Inspect everything manually!
Now I don’t hold this against them, we all know refactoring in Ruby is damned hard, but funny nonetheless…
…as I said, change is afoot!
