Hi,

thanks for the post, fun read (at least for me!). It reminded me of some of the projects that were run on our OpenMacGrid on MacResearch, via Xgrid (though in your case, no luck with OS X).

The project could also be a fun excuse to play with EC2. At 10 cents an hour for a Ubuntu box, it would be relatively cheap to run a bunch of simulations (not sure how fast they would go compared to a Mac Pro + VMWare, of course).

cheers!
