Try it! (It does.)
However, it opens in a silly Javascript popup, which is an impossible size and position for my screen. Why all the popups? Is target="_blank" so difficult? Presumably this bit is still being debugged. Of course, WCG could just host the BOINC packages themselves, and save all the trouble. |

Since you were able to "see" it, I checked it out as well. Looking good so far.  |

Yes, one of my teammates has been Mac crunching for a couple of days now - with more coming on board.

Yep, we've got a couple running on Macs now, what they are noticing is that the WU's are taking a long time to crunch - around 18 hours +
As I don't know much about Macs, I don't know whether its down to the spec of the machines, the size of the WU or some other reason  |

Normal variance, slow computer - could be anything. My crunchers haven't seen anything odd. 18 hours is perfectly normal. That's similar to what my machines do.
