[MacTUG] Re: Greetings from U Waterloo

[Randy Milthorpe]

FYI, and please pass on to the MacTUG, etc
I just delivered a seminar at Waterloo on "Why Mac for Science", 
which also addressed the cluster solution.
The cluster is useful to the Arts as a render farm or audio processing.

LIVE WEBCAST:
Accelerating Research with the Apple Workgroup Cluster

Tuesday, November 8, 2005

45 minutes + live Q&A

You're invited to attend a free, live webcast hosted by Apple. 
Attendees will learn about upgrades and changes to Apple's turnkey

the availability of applications like the MATLAB Distributed 
Computing Engine, gridMathematica, iNquiry for Bioinformatics, and 
custom software development.

Attendees will also hear from Frank J. Wessel, Ph.D., Manager of 
Research Computing Support at the University of California, Irvine,

At the conclusion of the presentation, customers will be able to
