All rights reserved. This is one of the few even remotely serious aspects of the Clan MacDude. It's a little known fact that a large proportion of the Clan are involved in technical fields and the sciences. I've run it continuously on my system here at the Stately MacDude Manor, alongside a web server, an IRC server, and all my day to day applications, and never noticed a performance hit. If you use a Macintosh, or one of those commercial PC operating systems from Redmond, you get a cool screensaver that gives you a graphical display of what it's doing.
