Frankly, I think it would be a LOT easier to just
write the darn code in a cross-platform way in the
first place. :-)

It takes about 2 seconds longer than otherwise, and
there are fewer surprises when your lust for a Mac
overcomes your good sense.

If nothing else, you will learn how to write better
programs if you write them on your Mac.

Cheers,

David
