By Brad Shimmin, David Joachim
We asked readers to give us their Top Little-known uses for Virginia Tech's 1,100-node Apple G5 supercomputer for our Top 11 list in our December 9th Last Mile. As usual, we got some chuckles out of the responses. And some puzzled looks after reading some others. In any event, we're happy to present to you the complete list of submissions.
