Er, yeah it can?

edit: or not. Hrm. I was pretty sure I've used mine before.

edit 2: I am unequivocally wrong and cry your pardon.

As I understand it, anything with a volume controller between the line and the headphones won't work on mac, because they usually need drivers and companies are lazy / it won't work.

I'm just glad I can use my Rock Band mic. That was a relief.

Heh, I dunno, I've used Mac's but could never really get used to them. I always felt like they were trying to over simplify everything, and most programmers I know use Windows, just because it lets you mess with more things.

Thanks for the head's up Aladuf, got my free headset ordered last night.

I don't know. They're definitely different beasts, but even if they're simplified, I find a lot more use out of Macs. I love doing little things like programming Automator to do stuff for me rather than getting a java platform running before I can do anything. I mean it's Unix-based so it's not like it's useless.

I can't run DevC++ though.. I used to love that.

Have you tried using Netbeans? It's an awesome, free IDE that you can use to write C, C++, Java, Ruby, Perl, and some other stuff. It looks like it's available for Mac OS X, I'm going to assume that that includes Leopard, right?

A lot of people swear by Eclipse, but I really hate that IDE. Netbeans is very suave though, so you might want to give it a look.
