Because:

a) I'm a server-side developer and making the site look 'the same'

rebooting or multiple machines

Take your pick.

I'd respond, but I'm busy developing a client site on my Mac, and
when that's done I'm off to the local asylum since your post made
me realize just how dangerously insane I must be (not for using a
Mac, but for feeding the trolls). ;-)
