By the way, after a visit to http://www.littleblackdog.com they did the math for us. Wednesday we were set to pass them in 25.27 days. Today we are set to pass them in 9.67 days! What an improvement!

And Steradian, OMG! You would blaze up to the top 3 in no time! Goodluck!

foolproof makes me think of OS 9. there are no plans to make an OS 9 client.

as far as OS X goes, i have made a script for single processor macintoshes (as well as dual) that automates the command-line version of the client. it's very easy to set up and comes with documentation. they run in the background, and can even come on at each system reboot.

there's also graphical and screensaver clients, but the terminal version is the most transparent in OS X if set up right. rower_cpu and myself have experience with mac and pc labs, so give one of us a holler.

that's a hell of a lab too. grateful for the nod to our team.

I might be willing to risk it...I kinda am a bit board w/ my position they haven't let me set up the accounts for the 1000+ students in OS X server yet...heh

Wow that would really be nice. Go for it man. Mc68k has a good script out there if you don't want to set the program up (if you don't know how to, this is much easier).
