[...] I could also mention one thing I found after switching to mac: the public beta does not work on intel macs. It runs, but crashes when publishing (some java thing). That sucks. Luckily as this mac has a heart (or brain?) made by intel it will run Microsoft’s Windows without problems. As I mentioned I haven’t had time to play that much with actionscript 3 recently, but found out that using the beta under windows with Parallels Desktop is really handy, and almost as good as under OS X (if not even better, as it’s even faster than Flash 8 under OS X (this being since it’s not a universal binary to you who have lived under a rock the whole 2006)). When using Parallels in coherence mode I can use the Flash 9 alpha preview just like Flash 8. Sweet! [...]

Thanks for the tip Niclas. I’ve got CS2 here, and so far it’s been working fine. A couple crashes (weird ones!) here and there, but still i don’t think i’ll install CS1 just for them (= they’re rare).
Was a bit surprised that the speed, even under Rosetta, is pretty good (a lot better than flash 8, which is annoyingly slow!). I’ll see if it’ll get annoying, haven’t done that much image manipulation with my new baby yet..

Thats great mate, damn I wish I had gone for the 15″ MacBook PRO instead of my MacBook.. I want to give you a tip tho, don’t install CS2 on it - it’s been causing some breakdowns on the new intel-macs. I’d install CS1 if I were you - I use it, and it runs just fine
