That's too bad... I don't want much, I just want to be able to  play 
around with writing code on my PIC-EL board and complete the Elmer 160 
course. As it stands now, I have to lug a windows laptop home from 
work, and I either forget to bring it, or it doesn't seem to be worth 
the hassle after a tough day.

I'd probably be further along the Elmer 160 course if I could do it 
anytime on my iBook.
