No, no, no, you just don't understand!
Yes. In general, we expect to charge for (or perhaps to derive other
forms
of commercial benefit from) the use of the Juno Virtual Supercomputer
Project, and hope that any fees derived from such use will help us
cover
the cost of providing our services to you and the millions of other
people
who use them.
And, to think - all that money that all the other 'free' ISPs are
losing by not selling time on the CPUs of their customers!
Maybe you should have looked for a job with them back in the day?
Forget 3,000 machines - there's "millions of other people" out there
who won't even notice their computers being used in liu of nineteen
dollars a month for dialup access, usually capped at 28K and very
flakey, accourding to the folks I know who use such ISPs.
