Join the UK CFUG screensaver team to do chemical research to fight cancer...

The United Devices Cancer Research Project is asking you to volunteer your PC to help 
process molecular research being conducted by the Department of Chemistry at the 
University of Oxford in England and the National Foundation for Cancer Research. To 
participate, you simply download a very small, no cost, non-invasive software program 
that works like a screensaver: it runs when your computer isn't being used, and 
processes research until you need your machine. Your computer never leaves your desk, 
and the project never interrupts your usual PC use.


IT'S SAFE & EASY 
There is no cost to participate and no impact on your computer use. The project 
software cannot detect or transfer anything on your machine but project-specific 
information. It just allows your computer to screen molecules that may be developed 
into drugs to fight cancer. Each individual computer analyzes a few molecules and then 
sends the results back over the Internet for further research. This project is 
anticipated to be the largest computational chemistry project ever undertaken and 
represents a genuine hope to find a better way to fight cancer.

The computational power to perform research of this scale is only available through 
the generosity of individuals like you.
