After several months of good intentions, I finally got round to

Surely, everybody with a fast machine (PC OR Mac before the arguements

Sounds like you've stumbled onto s@h 'classic'. There is now s@h2 running on a distributed computing support framework called Boinc that is also being developed by Berkeley.

For s@h classic, your concerns are valid. One of the motivations behind Boinc is to avoid such potential wastage. Lots of new features added also.

Look at:

Boinc supports a number of projects, including s@h2.

(Nicely warm and sunny down here (:-) Must be the Don Valley smog up there (:-((

Good luck,
