I respectfully submit my own choice, which is working for me in my work environment:

iPad,
WritePad app,
Griffen stylus.

As the most versatile and user-friendly solution for bridging the video compatibility gap between OS X and windows, this will be a terrible loss for the Mac community. There is still hope, however, if the right volunteers come forward."

Struggling to solve a problem that requires recursion with a language that does not allow recursion is a real eye opener. Looking at the results from a problem solving session like that, with one set of code taking many, many lines, and a second set of code taking only a few lines has an impact on you that can last your entire career. Stay the course. You will be much better prepared to tackle problems in the "real world" if you have training across several languages, and you know the types of problems that each is best suited to address.
