Also rememeber when ever you code you assiments on a Mac make sure you test them on a native Windows XP computer (basicly you cannt use you mac for this) Some times it will compile just fine on a both a Mac and a PC but one compliled on a mac will just act wierd on a PC while the same code complied on a PC will work just fine. Some things are just wierd like that. A CS friend of mine who used a mac she ran into that problem a few times and she learned the hard way about that. The assiments are graded on a PC and they are tested on a PC by you TA. If they dont work your grade gets massively hurt.
Got a tip for us?

The assignments, if written properly, should work on either without a problem. The only time you might wind up with a problem is when you create data on a Mac and try to read it on an x86 machine since the x86 machine has the MSB and LSB backwards from the rest of the computerdom.

We could go into MacWrite and Multiplan to further the history lesson.
If u want to test the aplications u code on the Mac just get Virtual PC and install visual c++ express, microsoft is offering it free until November
