Remember Gulliver's Travels and the big endian against
the little endian war, PCS store large numbers as big
endian and Apple stores large numbers as little endians.

A few years ago you would have been correct in stating there is a difference but 180 degrees off as to which way the difference lies - as Intel Processors are Little Endian and PPC processors Big Endian. Now that Macs use Intel processors, you’re wrong in a different way because they’re all Little Endian.
