Annette Taylor asked me privately, but I don't think she'll mind if I answer to everyone.

When you download their screensaver, it works (whenever your machine is idle) at screening molecules for their potential as drugs to fight cancer. And in addition to helping cancer research, you get a neat screensaver showing a colourful picture of a complex molecule slowly rotating and floating across your screen (and not damaging it!). The download was easy, and I've had absolutely no problems running it. I leave my computer on chronically. I've set it so that the screensaver turns on whenever my screen is idle for 5 minutes. It disappears as as soon as I touch my mouse. Information is available at http://www.grid.org/projects/cancer/ Stephen ___________________________________________________ Stephen L.
