[G4] Multi Macs

[Glenn E. Peterson]

Eric,

	There are two ways of doing this to my knowledge and both involve  
software.  Either use a proprietary software package like Virginia  
Tech to combine the computers efforts or use Xgrid from Apple  
Server.  It is doable but could be expensive.

Those to deny liberty to others do not deserve it themselves.  And  
under a just God will not long retain it.
