We are now open for Ruby projects on Mac !


We finally purchased our first Mac computer to support Ruby development on OS X platform.
I traveled to Finland this weekend where Mac computers costs about 100 Euro less and purchases one in MacPeople store of Helsinki. The good thing in purchasing laptop in Finland is that you get VAT tax back on Russian border(about 14%). I bought it for 1260 and get 177 euro back.
This is 2.16 GHz MacBook in standard configuration(1 GB/120 GB). Currently our developers configure this computer and it will be used on one of current projects soon.
If you are interested in my view on Mac - i love them mostly for design, but i am not felling native his GUI, as i only worked on it few times. Of course you can always install Windows on it as it has ordinal core duo 2 inside.
Macs are mostly used in design studios and publishing agencies in Russia, while most people use Win-loaded laptops in Russia.
Hope our developers will get much experience in using Mac and i will have a reason to visit Helsinki again to buy another one :)
