There are now 55 active homebrewers (or friends of homebrewers) on our "HomeBrewers" grid-computing team, and we are now close to the top 1% of almost 12,000 teams on the World Community Grid (we're ranked 133rd as of today). Our team donates the spare power on our personal computers, such as when a screen saver would be running or while we're just reading email, to do valuable medical research for a non-profit group searching for cures for AIDS, cancer, and many other diseases. We hope to make it to the top-100 teams before our first year anniversary on 11/21, and we encourage other homebrewers to help us in this charitable work. The life that your computer helps to save could be the life of someone you love. For more info
Thanks.
