"4. Best visual diff utility for Mac?"
opendiff. =A0I think it's part of xcode.
Regarding Python IDEs, I really like PyCharm. =A0It's written in J= ava, and sometimes you can tell that by its performance, but it's very = featureful and has a great debugger, and your 16 GB box should support it n= icely.

Some early questions:
=A0
1. Which distribution of Python to install (Python.org, ActivateState,= other?) and do I need to do anything special to avoid overwriting the syst= em copy of Python?
=A0
2. Text editor: Textmate, BBEdit, Emacs/VI, or other?
=A0
3. Multiple external monitors: Any recommendations on monitor specs/mo= dels for 2 external monitors for a MacBook?
=A0
4. Best visual diff utility for Mac?
=A0
Any other "gotta have" Mac apps, utilities, or hardware acce= ssories you would recommend?
=A0
Thank you!
Malcolm
