It's not magically delicious ... it just isn't

I keep looking for that magically delicious program (that doesn’t run on a Mac). I’ve found out that the reason Corona SDK runs on a Mac is because it was built for iPhone (and now iPad) apps. To develop those apps you have to use Apple’s SDK (whatever it’s called), which is only available for an Apple computer. Yay. 

I tried doing some coding in Flash (AS3, I believe is the official terminology ... maybe) and am at a total loss. The coding language seems much easier to learn than the archaic ones I learned a couple of decades ago, but it’s still way beyond my knowledge base. Should I bite the bullet and get a Mac? A friend suggested I send an email out at work (as a tech writer, I work for a software house), someone might have an old Mac they’re not using anymore.

What to do. What to do.
