Wow, think of all the CPU cycles those otherwise idling extra processors could dedicate to CPDN ... :-) Anybody else want to dedicate one of these monsters to CPDN? ... Ah, if only there was a Mac client... ID: 23871 · Reply Quote

Well, despite all the unseemly CPDN grousing about how small and unfunded they are, they are much bigger and probably better paid than my little nonprofit. So, not much chance of a donation of that size from here. The last new Mac I bought was a Blue and White G3. That was about 1999. This Mac Pro will probably still be in service in 2015, held together by paper clips and used chewing gum. Such is life at The Sunshine Project. Anyway, as far as donations go, check out the Mac Donation thread I started. We should discuss this. I hope others agree. ID: 23876 · Reply Quote
