Maybe I'm missing the point, but what makes the Mac so difficult that it
requires "Mac programmers".  Seems to me that anyone who has hacked on
any "real" OS (e.g. Unix) should be able to handle the Mac with his/her tab
key tied behind his back :-).

PS.  If you think it's bad trying to find Mac programmers, try finding people
     who can hack Amiga..
