Colloquy and a Mac

I'm going to point you all in the direction of Colloquy, which is a great IRC client if you've got a Mac.

A Mac?

Yes, a Mac. I've had a few ideas for apps and have been wanting to tinker with producing iPhone apps for some while now, and the current base model Mac Mini is well up to the job.

Objective C is quite a bit different from C Sharp, but what self-respecting programmer doesn't leap at the chance to expand his breadth of knowledge? It's like going back to C, but in a slightly different and more comforting way.

Objectives, in order of priority:

- I complete an app, make it available on the store, and people download it.

- ...they download it and don't think it's rubbish.

 - Enough people download it so I make back the cost of the Mac.

And finally, why can't all PCs be as quiet as a Mac? I can see myself being a convert.
