I have been a member before and deleted it from my
system. I don't remember why. However, I downloaded it again but I can not connect. I joined the XOC group btw.

Wilmac - Our office has it on every computer with an internet hook-up...as long as it runs as a screensaver, they are OK with it.

I still can't get it to run on my system. Arghh!!

Try today defibvt the service is back up today & welcome back.

I am up and running. Woohoo!

I just checked my status...the site had been down for maintenance a lot lately...I think a bunch of us gave up and are no longer contributing.

If you were participating, and unplugged due to the previous site issues, it would be great if you re-activated the screen saver again.



It looks like I'm closing in on the top 5 rank for results returned among Xterra Owner's Club members.



For those of you never into this - its a way to fight cancer using group computing, analogous to th SETI project (Same site).

Sign up and help!

Good point TJ, I will start mine back up tonight.

Any one else looking to fight cancer?

Heck Yea, I'm in!

I was doing some of that before with some other groups but it was actaully using so much processor resources I was worried it would over heat the CPU. Anyone else have this problem?

This one won't do that, just set it to run in the background, so anything you are working on has priority (The default installation...)....so it only does cancer related computations when you are not asking it to do anything else.

I tried a few programs at work, and with the grid program on or off, the processor results were the same, so it doesn't affect what you are doing...and, We've never had any heat issues either...its pretty much inobtrusive, and you wouldn't even know it was there if you don't check on it to see how its doing once in a while.



It will use about 100% of the processing time left though, so the processor will do what it can while you are idle or doing work, etc.

OK, I'll set it up tonight and let you know how it goes!

I hope the Graemlins humor isn't wasted here!

OK, I'm up and running!

I'm the latest XOC team member, in memory of my father, CW4 James A. Goutierez. He was the consummate soldier, twice earning the Bronze Star for valor while fighting with the Army's 77th "Liberty" Division at Guam, Leyte, and Okinawa. He later did 2 combat tours in Korea. For all that, he could not defeat cancer, which took him on 30Apr91 at the age of 68.



I miss you, dad.

Nice post. Thank you for your Father's Service to our Country!

Thanks - I truly appreciate that.
