New Mac Pro
It sure is cool when dreams come true. Look what arrived at the Denver office today. 
Update: Believe it or not, I rebooted my MacBook Pro the same minute I plugged in my Mac Pro. Upon reboot, the MBP choked and I've been looking at a gray screen with a spinning icon for most of the day. I'm soooo glad I have Time Machine. Let's hope I can do a restore on the MBP tomorrow.
Update 2: I was able to successfully build the Mac Pro from my latest MacBook Pro backup on Time Machine. Sweet! Let's see how this works:
$ echo $JAVA_OPTS -Xms512M -Xmx4096M -XX:PermSize=384m -XX:MaxPermSize=512m -Djava.awt.headless=true -XX:+CMSClassUnloadingEnabled -XX:+CMSPermGenSweepingEnabled -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC -server

In my best Napolean Dynomite, Luuuckyyy!
So my question for you Matt...
What the heck do you use for an IDE nowadays? I just picked up my first Mac (MacBook Pro) in February and am having a TERRIBLE time with IntelliJ IDEA. There are some critical bugs that haven't been fixed in over 6 months since they were reported.
You can't open more than a few tabs at once:
http://www.jetbrains.net/jira/browse/IDEA-16084
And you can't leave it running for more than a few hours:
http://www.jetbrains.net/jira/browse/IDEADEV-25376
I tried the latest version of Eclipse and the depressing thing is that although its platform integration on Windows is stellar, it looks heinous on OS X. And I never thought I would say this, but it feels slower than IDEA.
I'm downloading Netbeans right now to see if that is any better... I'm that desperate!
