At long last, I’ve discovered that I’m not alone in my wish for an out-of-the-box, rack-mount Mac system from Apple. It seems that researchers over at the Human Genome Project would rather use Macintosh computers for their clustered number crunchers, providing they would actually fit in a rack cabinet. As nicely designed as the G4 towers are, they just don’t cut the mustard when you’re trying to cram as much processing chutzpah into as little space as possible. Imagine having powerful and modular, non-Intel computer systems, compatible with industry-standard equipment racking, that don’t end up looking like some weird-ass hardware store science project. That’s quite a concept when you get right down and think about it. You might surmise that a few mid-sized internet service providers and heavyweight creative houses would be interested in something like that, wouldn’t you. I really wish Apple would get a clue about this. Any clue at all.
