Now that is a community I can support.
Blue ~ Let me know (even if privately) if you sign up do join the World Community Grid or not. I have been a very active member since the beginning... actually, before they took over from the Fight AIDS @ Home project that was done by another company before IBM became the prime sponsor and motivator. I am a member of the EasyNews group who is pretty much number one in the rankings (not that that is a reason to join... competition, I mean) and EasyNews even offers free Gigs of download capacity with World Community Grid participation (I think it is a free gig for every 15 days of processing time). Anyway, hope you do join and encourage others to do so, too. Can't have too much help with all the great projects going on.
