To my knowledge, not used with a pc or mac. I'll check.

<added> I cannot verify one way or the other. A quick scan of the company's website didn't mention a generic computer. I assume all computation is proprietary. </added>

Less vague hint:

You are what you eat.

OK goobers, let's review the clues:
