the only problem with SETI and other 'screensavers' is that they burn your monitor. in 9 months, i had that SETI box burned into my monitor. flatpanels are OK, but if you still have a CRT, dont use SETI!

Well... almost ;-) ClimatePrediction.Net is a project of the same family ast [EMAIL PROTECTED] You download a program from their website and it uses your idle CPU cycles to run a climate model for the next 45 years. http://climateprediction.net/ You get a nice image of a rotating Earth showing your model. They run many models and the results help them learn how climate will evolve in the near future. There is a credit system based on how much work your computer has done. I'm not sure what a credit means. I also notice that you can form a 'team', but again, I don't know what that means.
