No, it is very, very difficult for some of us. Even for me to do the
recent checking of PPC versus MacIntel I did to help fix that problem
was a sheer quirk that my technology center hasn't reclaimed my old
computer yet because I was having problems with my new one. Soon I
will have access to precisely one computer, let alone architecture.
And, frankly, the time involved in checking (for me) on another
computer is significantly greater than the time I just spent reading
this thread :)
