If you want your Mac to run Revolution R Enterprise, or some of the CUDA/GPU packages that run best under Linux, then this can of course be done by running the appropriate OS in an emulator such as Parallels Desktop.
Parallels now also has Parallels Mobile for the iPad, which is basically a screen sharing app. You have a Parellels running on a remote desktop that you login to from the iPad, and then you start (for example) Revolution R from your iPad, and you can enter commands directly into the R interpreter from the iPad keyboard. Before the end of the year you'll also be able to print remotely. It's still clunky, but it can be done. And it can be done over 3G as well. === Jan de Leeuw; Distinguished Professor and Chair, UCLA Department of Statistics; Director: UCLA Center for Environmental Statistics (CES); Editor: Journal of Multivariate Analysis, Journal of Statistical Software; US mail: 8125 Math Sciences Bldg, Box 951554, Los Angeles, CA 90095-1554 phone (310)-825-9550; fax (310)-206-5658; email: dele...@stat.ucla.edu .mac: jdeleeuw ++++++ aim: deleeuwjan ++++++ skype: j_deleeuw homepages: http://gifi.stat.ucla.edu ++++++ http://www.cuddyvalley.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- No matter where you go, there you are. --- Buckaroo Banzai http://gifi.stat.ucla.edu/sounds/nomatter.au ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ R-SIG-Mac mailing list R-SIG-Mac@stat.math.ethz.ch https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-sig-mac
