A long time ago in a gal..., er, well, in this galaxy, we used to be able to run the PPS-Sieve application on both Nvidia and ATI GPUs on Windows, Linux, and Mac OS. Somewhere along the line the ATI app on Mac got broken and hasn't worked for a long time. The app is once again working, so feel free to run PPS-Sieve on your ATI equipped Macs. (For those who are interested, apparently what happened is that something like a year ago, I think something in Mac OS or the ATI drivers changed such that the Mac BOINC client couldn't detect that the drivers were present on the computer. As a result, it was telling the BOINC server that there were no drivers present, and the server therefore refused to send ATI apps to the client. The Mac BOINC client still isn't detecting the drivers, but I've modified the server to skip that check when the host computer is a Mac.)
