Hello Curt,

cause you don't have comments and David stop comments of this story, 
I'll put my opinion here, even if everybody has this thread in ignored.

I fully agree with David and reaction like he is lame, unprofesional 
and so are blind in my eyes. It was just his personal view (as I feel 
it, but I'm not native speaker as you can see around, so maybe I've 
missed something), and maybe reaction like this speaks more about 
people writting it (and many of them are authorities for me). I think 
that not so many people in our little software world are bigger 
proffesinals and totaly seeing forward people like David is. We now 
have (as I can see it) one of the best domain specific language for 
free, do you think it should happen if David was using wintel? I'dont.

And for funding. I'm living in Czech Republic, and macs are sooo 
expensive here (30pc more than in states) and wages are.... guess, but 
year ago I've managed to get 12" PB from USA through one friend (funny 
she was in Vegas on IBM yearly conference). It costs me half year work 
in my university job, but I'm still feeling that it worth every penny 
and I get my money back, from work I've done on it. Surely I could do 
it on my freebsd machine too, but ... not with such leisure and 
happiness. And with no flame, it's just like changing the way you work 
on computer (butler, witch, growl ..), I feel like my computer is 
working for me (same with ruby and rails), not that I'm working for 
him. I think, that if I didn't buy one I never know about Rails, cause 
I didn't have time to explore it.

So it's my really long, bad written, late.... and so comment. Sorry for 
disturbing, it was just on my mind and I had to say. Even if I'm wrong.

See ya in Prague one day :-). Do you know that czech republic has the 
most advanced net (km/person) of railroads in the world?
