Hi Folks; I've updated my web site with a few new lunar images for 2006 and also added a new Mars rotation movie covering October 12 to November 18th, 2005. ...
Nice Job Milton. Those movies must take a lot patience and work. That Mars one is really sweet. You need to compliment those waxing Moon shots with a waning...
Hi Duane; Thanks.. The Mars movies didn't take that long to put together, other than rotating them into basically the same orientation and then playing around...

Hi All, Just a little off topic but I was able to finally perform a real world benchmark with Core Duo vs G5. I was surprised by this one so I thought that I...
Hi Jeff; The tables a little mushed up unfortuately. Is that a dual G5 or a single G5 or what exactly? It doens't really surprise me at all. It largely depends...
Hi Milton, Yes, the table is mushed up a bit. Using both processors on a dual G5, executes in 1 minute 41 seconds using IBM's xlf fortran compiler. Using 1...
Hi Jeff; Interesting results. Are you doing a lot of small block copies (< 128 bytes) at all? Apple's memcpy (or whatever is equivalent in Fortran) routines...
Hi Milton, I normally agree with what you say, but I think the statistics are up since those (those are the lowest numbers Apple ever had) and they continue to...
Hi Dunae; Nope - 2004 Apples' market share was 1.8% world wide and the years before were worse. These numbers are all based on the # of Macs Apple sold (as...
