OK, we know VT's is coing to be called BigMac (and it looks like BigMac2), but there have to be enough creative people out there to come up with some better names for Apple/OS X clusters

Xpack
The Orchard (its a cluster of Apples..)
G500

ok, those stink.
But anyone else?

I have to say that "The Orchard" sounds pretty cool.

Hmm...maybe MacAttack?

"High Fives?"

"Giant room of Macs?"

Just imagine: News Flash! VTs new supercomputer with 1100 Macs breaks a new barrier... 850 FLOPs!!!
