I frankly don't care whether I'm using a Windows or Mac machine to program in PBASIC! I'll use whatever I have available.
Yeah some people are still immature, that know little to nothing about the mac.

Anyways I have to agree with monsieurcoffee that for programming it really isn't all that different. It is basically a text editor that can transfer data to the RC. However you have to have a USB to serial converter for either a mac or new wintel machine to transfer. So basically it is whatever you can find.

I really do hope that next year controller will have a USB connection for ease of use, and the fact that the serial port is fading away in Wintel machines (especially laptops)

But it is nice that it is possible to have a native program for the mac that can program.
