InstantRails is a developer's delight! I wasted a good day unsuccessfully getting Apache etc working my laptop. With InstantRails I could wipe away the tears. Many ppl agree that setting up the infrastructure for Ruby + RoR is the most challenging part of getting started - all pain and no Ruby love, yet. So thanks for IR. Jeez, I never write "thank you" notes about products, but if it means another RoR newbie saves themselves a day or more by not having to set up their environment, and subsequently perhaps not even writing a line of Ruby code, then I'll hawk the product all day long :) Nic
