Looks At Eclipse On OS X
Software developers can have it rough; they toil, working on a bit
of code under often impossible deadlines. While they make a decent
salary, they make nothing like the money Hollywood would have you
believe. Programmers don't exert themselves physically, but the mental

attack: PowerBook performs with the best
Because benchmark results from the Mac OS version of the GCN Lab’s
Alterion Corp. benchmark software differ slightly from those of the
PC version, directly comparing the PowerBook G4 with the other notebooks
in this review would literally be a case of Apples and oranges.
But after a month’s use, I can say that the 1.5-GHz PowerBook with
