...But I Don't.

I wrote earlier about programming on this cute little Mac, but there was something I didn't realize at the time. I found that Java development was already available on this machine and I could compile and run my programs with ease. Fantastic.

But actually writing the code on the Mac has become a bit more than trivial. The only text editors I have are in AppleWorks 6, TextEdit, and vi (a command-line text editor). I can't figure out how to save a file in TextEdit to a raw text file (it only saves in RTF), it's virtually impossible to do in AppleWorks, and I'm not taking the time to write programs in vi. Looks like I can't put the Windows box in the closet yet.

I tried Eclipse, but it never tells me it won't run - it just doesn't run. Turns out it only works on 10.4. Damn it. I thought I had it all worked out.
