on my ppc-mac, this code:

this, to me, looks like it's going to need an adjustment to work
the same on intel.
Why would it work differently? 2+2 still equals 4, even in Intelliville.
1 << 1 still equals 2.
1024 << 1 still equals 2048.
The "endian" issue refers to how you STORE the numbers (does the
little end go first, or the big end?).
It has nothing to do with the rules of arithmetic.
