I agree with Ronnie Berntsson and Roger Rowlett. The only thing
that you
can't do on those machines is to work with Coot in stereo 3D.
Currently,
you would need a MacPro and a special Nvidia Quadro graphics card
(and
stereo glasses & emitter) for that.
He could buy a Zalman 3d LCD and hook it up to the external video
port on
the iMac. It works fine with Coot, PyMOL, Chimera, etc.
O also now works on OS X with the Zalman monitor. (Thank you, Alwyn!!!).
No special hardware -- it (and CCP4,etc) even works fine with my
wife's first-generation macbook and the mac mini.
I haven't managed yet to get ccp4 and friends working on the ipod.
