Possibly a small amount of overkill there. But might end up doing it 
anyway. :)

It's quite nice. The terminal scrolls at a painful speed, and I'm still 
looking for a native text editor which is any good (other than 
emacs/vi) Ideally, something which does syntax highlighting of perl, 
ruby, PHP, XML, C, C++ and java. At least. If it can cope with the mix 
of HTML and PHP without choking, and also doesn't mind JSP or velocity 
macros, I'd appreciate that.

The java based editors look ugly and are slow behemoths, grazing on 
processor cycles that are better used elsewhere. Project builder might 
be a hopeful place to look further.

That's what's on my other machines :) Just have this lovely iBook, and 
it needs to be used.

Cheers,

Simon
