Re: IBM Rational Developer for i, V9.5.1 delivers new support for Apple Mac platform and other significant enhancements

I think the fact that more and more IBMers are using Macs will have an impact on IBM i BPs and that in turn may impact the consulting base.

Aaron I suspect has noticed as I have that when you are traveling that more that about 60% of fellow travellers are using Macs these days - not Windows machines.

Ha ha. I wish my geek knowledge extended to washers and dryers :-)

I'm curious, is this new support from IBM causing anyone to go out and buy a Mac? I still like my Mac. I am not as enamored as I used to be (they aren't as reliable as they used to be); but they are still better than Windows (my perception) and are more supported than Linux (which is what I hope to go back to some day). Oh, and Macs last a looong time. My wife's finally died after about 9 years (spinning HD started making noise).
