Yeah, Xcode lets you do a bunch of coding, as well as free Java based compilers too....but Applescript is the most similar.....an "english language" type programming environment like Basic.....but like I said, I know a lot about this stuff, I just don't just actually PROGRAM

.
I really need to take some time and learn. I can script in Unix (what I need to do) and I can do basic Applescript (not Applescript Studio like in Xcode).
It is just a shame there is no Paltalk client. If they would do it right, they could actually put hooks in the app to allow you to do all that normally you need to "hack" otherwise. Applescript is a great way to script programs to work together. You can talk to apps to do things, pass info back and forth, and even launch unix scripts from within Applescript.
And yes, I know Windows runs faster on a Mac than most other laptops...btw...you made sure to install Apple's Windows drivers correct? If not, make sure you boot into windows (if using dual boot) and put in the DVD 1 that came with your computer....the drivers will install from there......Then run Apple Software Update to make sure you have the latest.
