What does learning Ruby have to do with a MacBook laptop (with the associated $500 Apple tax)?
You do not need to upgrade your computer to edit text, it can definitely handle it. And there are plenty of editors with Ruby syntax highlighting available for all platforms.Last edited by Dan Grossman; Mar 22, 2009 at 00:55.

What text editor do you use to write code now? See if it has a Ruby plugin to add syntax highlighting for that language.

I would check out E-TextEditor. It is supposed to be similar to Textmate, but for Windows. I really like it so far.
