You can help fight AIDS at home!

Hi guys

I'm not sure how many of you are aware of the World Community Grid? It's an organization that uses GRID computing as a way to aid in research and HIV/AIDS is big on their agenda. I've been a member since 2006.

Basically, you install a small app on your computer and it downloads instructions (very small) and executes them to calculate things. I suck at explaining, but basically it uses your unutilized CPU clocks to help with research.

Give it a try!
