Actually, I remember using IDL on a PDP/11, before we got our first VAX. I
guess that must have been version 0. ;^]

You're right, of course. However, with a little bit of care, it's actually not
all that hard to write code that works on all the platforms that IDL supports.
I've come to expect that we can distribute code to an international community
using a wide variety of different computers, without having to distribute
different versions for different architectures. I think we should commend RSI
on the number of things that do work across platforms.
