yeah...


spending money is a bit of an issue, which is a decent part of why I 
don't currently target OSX... after all, one would have to spend the 
teh-huge amounts of money to get an OSX-based development system, which 
is just not worthwhile (unless there is some free and legal way to get a 
copy of OSX to use in VMware or similar, which I doubt...).


I am feeling tempted to look into the Android SDK mostly so that I can 
test my stuff against a low-resources non-x86 environment (currently my 
stuff works with Windows and Linux on PCs with x86 or x86-64...).

or such...
