[NMLUG] Ruby
Funny you ask this question about macs and ruby. Here is an email that
I wrote a friend of mine. He is a MAC zealot to say the least. At the
bottom of the email is a link to a video. I'm saving up my milk money
for a mac mini right now.

Very cool. I convinced my boss to order me a dell 1850 rack mount. I
get to install linux on it and learn fedora with rails. Been five
years since I switched to Knoppix and knoppmyth. I am so excited to
play with it.
On a side note about Ruby and MACs. Craig sent me a link yesterday for a ruby
rails tid-bit and the guy was working on a MAC. The editor was just
amazing. I was so interested in the editor, stopped paying attention
to the rails demo. Here is the emsil from Craig. Check out the Vid!
Subject: [ANN] Rails 0.13.1: Faster for all, eager limits, more Ajax
To: ruby-talk ML < ruby-talk@ruby-lang.org>
We've returned the default MySQL/Ruby bindings to their former glory,
made sure development mode on big applications didn't get penalized on
resetting the object space, and cut WEBricks lust to have a new
database connection per request. All changes that actually allows
Rails 0.13.1 to live up to the promise of better performance for
everyone.
Additionally, we've made it possible to use :limit and :offset
together with eager loading of has_one and belongs_to associations
(has_many and has_and_belongs_to_many will still not work due to the
nature of how SQL joins work).
And of course there's a big bag of delicious script.aculo.us additions
and fixes.
In case you missed it, we've also release a new video to show case
Rails (50MB/QuickTime):
