Ok I hope this is the right forum, I dont' think this is really a hardware question...
I am a windows user entering my senior year of high school right now and college is on my mind a lot. I have a friend who has a ti powerbook and I love how it looks and I love osx. I am just wondering if a powerbook would be right for a CS student (computer science)? I know that a lot of my work will probably be done in *nix or windows environments so would osx be compatible or have comparable tools?
If any of you are CS majors or think you know something about programming tools available for osx I would love your advice on what computer to get. I am aiming for a laptop and a desktop, desktop will almost certainly be windows(my current one if it doesn't break in the next year) while the laptop could be either windows or mac depending on practicality.
If I do go with a powerbook I will probably wait till next summer and get it from my schools store to get a big discout and the next generation model.
