I'm pretty sure that someone here (Elliott?) mentioned that there's a problem with first generation Mac Pros and newer graphic cards. Are there any gotchas with these or second generation Pros? ... 18 Feb 2010 07:14

Advice again on Xerox Phasers
Hi all, I had an offer thing from Misco this morning: Xerox Phaser 6110N for �99.99. Is this a good deal, do you think? Or would I be better off going for one of the higher spec Phasers?

And I don't know much about it, but I also presume that programming for Macintosh can't be hugely more difficult or expensive than programming for iPhone.
