I actually use both my Mac and PC for development on the same project. Plus, I can dual boot into Windows 7 if necessary. I do agree that not having a right click on the older Mac's was annoying, but on the new ones you can two finger click. It is really nice. @Rengel Most of the tools I use are platform agnostic and run on the Mac just fine. I actually use both my Mac and PC for development on the same project.

How's that working for you? What about CAD software? Simulators? You are proving yourself less and less an enginer everyday. What about right or left center clicking? How’s that working for you?

What about CAD software? Simulators?

You are proving yourself less and less an enginer everyday.

There is no easier way to find and open applications or files. The thing I like most about the macbook - Spotlight. There is no easier way to find and open applications or files.
