I learned to program on a C64, and later in Turbo Pascal on an XT with 256KB. Now I code on an Air, (rev. A) and it works fine. I miss a really big screen (but you can plug one in) and it's slow for some tasks such as running tests (but you can run those on a server).
Maybe I'd be slightly more productive with a Mac Pro and two 27'' screens. On the other hand, with the Air, I can code in bed (and I do).
- apu 16y agoYou code in bed? Wow, your back must hate you. (And if not yet, soon it will...) Seriously, though, my back starts hurting if I don't maintain good posture while sitting; I can't even imagine what it would do if I tried to use a computer in bed.
- jdietrich 16y agoSome studies indicate that a reclined position is much better for your back than sitting up at a desk[1]. My back starts hurting after a couple of hours at a desk, but I'm never uncomfortable in bed. I really think that horizontal computing is the way of the future.
