New 'puters

By way of keeping up with my computational needs, and the Windows and Mac OS

So I've not actually had much relationship with Windows since, well, since DOS.

I hear-tell that not much has changed.

My first Mac was a first gen mini, and I loved it. It is still sitting up in my closet, since I can't figure out what to do with it.

I suggest you use it for running a distributed computing project such as one on the BOINC platform. There are lots of distributed computing projects to choose from, and your measly increased electricity use would be compensated for by the substantial increase in the world's common wealth. I strongly suggest that all 'excess' computational cycles be devoted to solving these sorts of problems, which are well suited to distributed computing. I currently use my excess computational power to run rosetta@home (protein folding, design, and docking), seti@home (finding our neighbors), and Climateprediction.net (climate science)
