Do you think I'm crazy?  (read below and let me know)

I'm starting an undergrad research project;
I aim to implement a distributed memory 
parallel simulation environment on Macintosh.  
Naturally I'm running into some pretty 
crucial issues here (the central one regards
the non-memory-protected, cooperative multi-
tasking environment that the Mac OS provides).

I've been thinking about coming up with a Mac
implementation of PVM...  I would then use
this as a building block to construct a parallel
environment on Macintosh over TCP/IP.  The
end result would theoretically allow for
development of parallel algorithms using C++
as an architecture for message passing on
Macintosh networks.

Can it be done?
