Well, that is not exactly right - but close enough.

I develop for both, although I am primarily a Mac programmer and I will=
 take the Mac programming tools. I recently ported a server application=
 (written in C++) from Mac to UNIX (I wrote the Mac version so that hel=
ped) and when I got it on UNIX I ran Purify and it reported ZERO proble=
ms. I was shocked actually, but I think it was a result of having spent=
 12 years on the Mac learning to NOT do bad things and NOT having an OS=
 which protects me from myself.
