Sounds like she needs a better heatsink and fan on her CPU; about the

I found another distrubuted net program.Right now the program is
ananlyzing a cancer research project, phase II. The smallpox was for,
if I remember correctly,  the military. You do not get to chose who
the research is for. It is thru United Devices and at least her
computer is doing something 24/7. I would MUCH rather have it doing
Seti, of course, but.....

You do realize that United Devices is a for-profit company, who will
sell the products of the work you're doing and pocket the money, and
is also who sued Berkely over the BOINC code, delaying that activity?

They want my CPU cycles, they can pay for them.
