YOU ARE STILL SHUTTING OUT MAC USERS...WHY? APR 2005 to DEC 2005: 8 mos

How many people died since APRIL because you did not offer this service to MAC users? Get the designers to work on this issue and resolve it. Let's all work together. Don't shut anyone out of this AIDS Project.

END AIDS NOW!

If you will read the help overview panels here, you will find the following statement:

Why is there not a Mac client?
The software that we licensed for World Community Grid came only with a Windows client. The support team has an edict to provide a Linux client in 2005. As soon as the Linux client is launched, we will look at working on a Mac client. If we develop a Mac client, it will be in early 2006. As soon as we have more information, we will update this FAQ.

Hi Binary Coder,
We have not compiled either project application program to run under Mac OS X. We are still programming the BOINC results page and other statistics and we have not boarded FAAH to run with BOINC yet. So Mac OS X is sometime in 2006.
