Unfortunately, I couldn't participate because it's not a Mac-friendly site. I'll talk it over with N/W and see if she'll let me involve her PC. Definitely a worth-while project.

Yeah, I also tried to do Einstein@Home on my Mac, I'm not a computer dumb-ass, and I can't figure out how to do it.

Do we have any other teams I could join?

I run LHC@home and Einstien@home.
