    KOODOUGH  I was wondering if pooch is able to work under the new Intel Macs and also I wanted to know if I could use any old application (ex. Photoshop) to use pooch? I tried to find the answer on your website but didn't really findd a direct answer.

    DEREK SIKES  Wonderful product for those needing extra CPU power for long (day & week-long) analyses. Had it understood & up and running in less than an hour. The developer is very quick to reply & informative. This is apparently superior to Apple's xgrid app...
