in reply to Mac OS X question

Why not just run the linux version of komodo? OSX is based on bsd, shouldn't there be a fair amount of compatability?

    Good point, and to be honest I don't know. I would have thought so, but then I have seen much ado made when various programs had been ported over from Linux and could now work on OS X, which makes me assume that it is non-trivial, or at least more than just installing it as if it were on Linux.

    In case anyone does a search on this in the future, I looked around and found a post on a discussion board about Mozilla that was by one of the ActiveState programmers - he said that they had plans to port Komodo to Solaris and Mac OSX - the Solaris port is already out as far as I know, and he said they wanted to make sure the Mac one was a good one (looks).

    So it looks like it will be out eventually if that is something I wanted.
    And therefore it looks like I will be getting the Mac - a big change for me. I feel dirty, yet excited about the shiny case that should be more durable and hopefully have fewer future licensing issues than my current Windows laptop that is dying.
