Re: Survey redone? Ravi Bhavnani9-May-15 4:37 Ravi Bhavnani 9-May-15 4:37  I thought Android would be a good choice, because many .NET devs are using Xamarin to build Android apps. /ravi My new year resolution: 2048 x 1536 Home | Articles | My .NET bits | Freeware ravib(at)ravib(dot)com MAC OS? jkirkerx4-May-15 8:40 jkirkerx 4-May-15 8:40  I'd like to, but I really don't want to spend the money on a nice MAC again. This business is expensive enough as it is. I bought one back in 2005, one of those Mac Pro's with the clear handles and dual CPU's, and that nice 17" monitor that matched. It was like 3.5K back then. And did it improve the quality of my work?, NO Did I work faster?, NO Did I make more money? NO But the option does sound nice. Re: MAC OS?

So it isnt too expensive. Press F1 for help or google it. Greetings from Germany Re: MAC OS? Kirk 103898215-May-15 3:31 Kirk 10389821 5-May-15 3:31  Exactly. I bought a Mac Mini. Works great for that kind of stuff. I already have monitors, etc. I did add a Keyboard/Mouse/Monitor switch. I also added TeamViewer to allow remote control. I don't use it much, but it is there.

Re: MAC OS? bltdavid5-May-15 6:38 bltdavid 5-May-15 6:38  Don't do that. One Mac Mini per MacOS. Re: MAC OS? jkirkerx5-May-15 7:49 jkirkerx 5-May-15 7:49  I suppose I can shop for that, or get a slightly used one. Good Idea! I do need to get on the money bandwagon with IOS and mac stuff Re: MAC OS?

Re: MAC OS? jkirkerx7-May-15 7:23 jkirkerx 7-May-15 7:23  Oh sometimes I think it's easier to sell MAC and IOS apps than Windows and Windows Phone Apps. I'm sure it's just an illusion. But I would like to make a card draw app, in which you press a button and the same 8 cards are shown in a random sequence. Used for pairing up people in tournaments and racing.
