Well, I suppose that the 40 flippin macOS9 machines I have running here at the school are now screwed...lol.

Please tell me that I am wrong.

Congratulations, Daniel - you're absolutely correct. Most iMacs can be upgraded to OS X 10.3.9 which runs BOINC just fine. I have an iMac 333 MHz tray loader that is happily cranking out SETI/BOINC.

If your school can't afford to buy OS X 10.3.9, don't give up hope too quickly - go to the various forums and see if anyone who has recently upgraded their Mac to OS X 10.4 Tiger will donate their old OS X 10.3 to your school. It's a win-win situation, if you can find some willing people, as you get free upgrades, and they can claim a legitimate tax deduction for a charitable contribution.

Good luck with your searching!

Just chalk it up to the "we have all the money in the world for this project at Berkeley, and do not give a hoot about the existing community"

Just chalk it up to: "We have no money here in Berkeley with our meager budget to keep all long outdated OS supported."

There isn't a version for Win 3.1 as well, so it's not just Macs ;)

How do you come to the idea of "all the money" in connection with Seti?
