Hi, I was browsing around the forums and came accross this area
I have very little understanding of what its about but I *think* its to do with getting a little peice of the pie in terms of some calculations that need to be done and then doing those calculations and uploading them back to the central server
Its my understanding that these calculations have something to do with medical research
So my questions are...
1) where is the best place to go to get a very quick introduction to how this works
2) has anything actually been acheived by all these computers around the world crunching away for like 10 years now?
