1) Message boards : BOINC Manager : Wishlist for Mac
Message 45623 Posted 11 Sep 2012 by Blatboy |
Ok, you kids will think I'm nuts, but here's what's on my wishlist for Mac: I'd like to see versions for legacy systems. Back in the day I was running SETI@Home on a Powerbook G3 Wallstreet running 8.6. I'd love to have a way to get that baby running Boinc. I also have a Mac Classic II running 7.0.1 on my network too. How cool would THAT be? I can run BOINC on a Windows 95 system, (ahem, and I have) why not on an old Mac? I'm sure it's a waste of valuable resources to develop it, but it would be a neat way to use old computing resources. The small amount of computing power afforded by these old beasts would be more than compensated by the romance of it all, don'tcha think? :) |
