Juno is a free adware ISP. Naturally, it's difficult for an ISP to
cope with the cost of providing unlimited dialup access in exchange
for showing ads (although such accounts are usually at only 28K).
Thus, it appears Juno is starting this computing project to help cope
with their costs. The problem is that it appears they haven't gone
out of their way to make their customers aware of that.
I wonder how the authorities in California will look at an ISP
requiring customers to run their computers 24/7.
