But have you seen software such as Labview, matlab etc.... In
Fact for engineering, everything (99.999) runs on a PC, uni, linux,
Sunworkstations, Solaris. I haven't seen a Mac in an engineering
department for about 7 years!
When engineers code interfaces in c, they definately start with
the pc/ then if its compilcated and realtime use irmx or linux!
