It was a "sponsorship" from Apple. Top of the range kit at the time too. All I had to do was write fast code and not insult them in public. Managed for several years. Oh - my code ran faster under linux than OSX. The apple compiler seemed to never want to use all 32 of the FP registers (and, more bizarrely, the register it would mysteriously forget existed wasn't always the same one). I later worked for Freescale and had access to their internal tools, and could see how good or bad a job the various compilers were at keeping the pipelines full, and it was clear that Apple weren't as smart as they thought they were.

As such, we can cast aside childish remnants from the dawn of our civilization. -- NotSanguine on SoylentNews, after Eugen Weber in /The Western Tradition/
