Downloaded climateprediction software

I went on BOINC manager and found climateprediction under the project heading but I clicked on the work heading and nothing was there. My screensaver just says BOINC is currently idle.

Am I doing somethig wrong?

It appears, based on answers in another thread, that CPDN simply isn\'t giving work to Mac users anymore. I really don\'t want to say something like, \"Obviously, we\'re not wanted around here,\" but it\'s hard not to come away with that impression...

There are several other projects with the resources to create Mac apps.
This list is at Berkeley
And this one is at BOINCstats (in the left hand panel under: Status schedulers:)

Yeah, me too. These weather people are too fickle. New code but no work. I\'m going back to looking for aliens.

Duh. Read the requirements!

The models are ONLY available for Intel Macs.

Just as they\'re not available for Windows 95, 98, ME, and possibly NT.
