in my first software job in the mid 90s, we made client software that ran on windows, mac and a handful of unix (linux, sgi, sun, dec). we outsourced the mac port to a contractor who would come on site every so often. you always knew when he was working in the office as you'd hear the mac startup chimes several times an hour. (no memory protection in the pre os x days)
it was always fun as a linux/sgi guy to stop by and comment on how well his debugging was going based on chime frequency with occasional jabs about the absurdity of cooperative multitasking mixed in. :)
