Perhaps I should have re-titled this "Stupid Mac Tricks" but a while
back I built a 15 mac "cluster" out of IIci's and some old 6100s over
10 base ethernet... I used applescript and program linking to do the
work. All it did was sort large lists of strings (I downloaded
dictionaries from the web to feed it.) I found that in some large
lists it could keep up with a single G4, but the list had to be in
just the right size range and the sort method had to be right... I'm
afraid I forget the details. In any event, if it's just "fun to
think about" or "can it be done?" this is an interesting way to go
about it.

Perhaps some kind of file-based solution involving the read/write
commands, something along the lines of 100 folders each containing 250
files each containing 320 lines of 160 characters?
P.S. I'm not really advocating that someone try a system like this,
it would be way too slow for any practical purpose, (but it
sure is fun to think about). ;-)
Or how about kicking off with a 100 x G4 Appleseed cluster? That'd cut it
down to a much more manageable 12,800,000 items per machine. And it's even
more fun to think about. :)
