Hi Flatcatch, Glad you're getting back to Mac. I wrote a few small things in Objective-C but could not get myself motivated to write anything big in it. After being a Java guy, …

Let us know how you make out. Forget a lot about what you know about Visual Studio. It will hold you back.

Thanks guys for the suggestions - I appreciate it. It's helpful to know some of the key differences between the Windows C++ world and Mac Obj-C ahead of time. As far as what I wan…
