If you are a full time Mac based Java Developer, I suggest getting a Apple Select Developer Membership ($499), get your 20% discount on hardware for a nice new MacBook Pro:

http://developer.apple.com/membership/hardware.html

save minimum $400 on hardware, get free seed versions of OS X (save $129) and look under the ‘Java’ section of the Developer Connection.

If you are in the UK then claim back the cost of the MacBook Pro to boot:

If you are not, you can wait a few weeks whilst the rest of us feedback on bugs to Apple to make sure everything is cosy.

Yeah, I think I may be an early adopter for this one. I did it with both Panther an Tiger and didn’t have any problems.

Will you be going with Leopard as your primary OS from the get-go? I’m thinking of holding off to see how things go in the first few weeks…

Especially at the Cambridge Side Galleria. Seriously, there aren’t too many true Geniuses working at the bar

Sure, they do plenty of great stuff, and I love my new MacBook. They are still amazingly unreceptive to real customer concerns at times, though. Beware of any cult, really. Haven’t you noticed how culty the Apple stores are, with hangers-on milling around the “genius bar” ?

“We love your OS.”

“We love your hardware.”

“We hate the fact that the Java community was left in the dark.”

Amen.
