That is very good. Because i think to buy a macintosh perhaps. the G5 is now 
at 2x2.7 ghz and i think this is just what i need. can ruby handle two 
processors? (or do i need a c extension for that *g* ?)
btw, i know this is a ruby list but is their any way to run windows programs 
on mac?

yes you may but i myself dont know yet :-) . i think windows and graphics 
will be needed. 3d graphics would be super to present the results.
as i wrote before, going into libraries is not a problem, i have all the 
books and documentations.

Thanks
Franz
