Mac OS X (but may be similar with Linux I'm guessing?):
I've got this notion from way back - I'm sure when titting about with lots of simultaneously connected Arduinos and FTDI serial boards that the number on the end of their serial port path name wasn't necessarily the same every time I plugged one in. Sometimes I'd wake up the computer and a couple of the FTDI boards had swapped their names.
But the Teensys seem to hold on to theirs - is that just random luck (that I shouldn't rely on) or do they work differently - ie will the Teensy in front of me always show up as /dev/cu.usbmodem880591? It'd be bloody handy if I could use that instead of having to identify them programmatically...
