[Glass] GS for OSX

[James Foster]

I think that most of the ESUG attendees were either employed or students. ;-)

If you are developing a web-based application you could certainly use a Mac for development (with testing on a Windows machine). I'm also looking at making it easier to use a hosted server for GemStone/S development.

I'm not really a good person to give advice on Ruby (including MagLev) since I'd do my best to stay with Smalltalk.

Take a look a what machines Smalltalk developers are using (https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10201373129904046) and you get an idea of what I have in mind.
