help.  Thanks.

Do you want a "pay per CPU time" type arangement, or would a "prize
for accomplishment" arrangement be acceptable?

In the first case, you are paid (not very much) for the time your
computer works on a problem.  In the latter case, you are paid (much
more) if yours is the lucky computer which solves the problem under
consideration.

something like seti@home or folding@home.  I am looking for something
like that where they pay you for your processing time.  I've found a
few companies but they only support Windows or Linux.

What do you mean? Something like SETI at home?

If you're looking to parallelize processing on a Mac OS network, have
a sniff at this:

Pooch - Parallel OperatiOn and Control Heuristic Application

It's the easiest way to build a parallel processing cluster, much
easier than Beowulf.
