I found it exceptionally slow, on a mid 1GHz machine with lots of RAM. Besides, he said Mac/Linux I thought.
I can't suggest anything for Linux, except that CodeWarrior also makes a Linux IDE. I don't recommend developing software using cheap command line text editors or gcc compilers, unless you love being counter productive and frustrated.
Cheap command line text editors? Is that a shot at VI[M]? What's wrong with GCC. Both of these work perfectly well for people who are competant.
In college I had two semesters of C++, three of COBOL, one of Java, 4 of VB (the final one was technically client/server so included a little PHP), some JCL/CICS, a Program Design course (flowcharting), a single math course (not terribly impressive), etc
In what fields are maths required? I know for most user apps you don't need to know much math at all.
What general and/or specific things would a person eventually, possibly, want to do that require complex mathematics?
I'm not arguing the requirement, I'm just curious.
I wonder if the same goes for colleges vs universities in Canada. That is, if the diploma/degree become irrelevant?
My understanding is that in the US, college and universities are very similar. Here in Canada, or at least in Ontario, College and Unis are very different.
College trains you to get a job (and is mostly practical work in my experience), university on the other hand is mostly theory (with far less practical).

So nobody misunderstands me, I'm a huge Star Wars fan, and have been since a very early age. I have collected the comics, played the RPGs, etc.
But as far as this DVD collection is concerned, don't bother. In my opinion its not worth the plastic its pressed on.
The easter egg(s), whatever it is, can't be that good to make it worth pirating, let alone buying (sadly I'm in the latter category).
"The computer field is almost dead"

True, nobody uses computers anymore, and never again will software developed

(Keep in mind, when I went to school, we had no computers.)
I wouldn't know how to use a teletype, astrolab, or the bow and string method for starting fires...
but I don't need too.
We have evolved and advanced. What does it matter if we trade off one antantiquated skill for something modern?
In this day and age computers can go everywhere. We don't need to be without them. So why would we need writing skills beyond the basics (if at all)?
