Anyway.  I'm with you on everything.  Seems like much of those issues
could've been addressed on the server (Berkeley) side though without a
totally new client.  I don't get why anyone would "cheat" either.  Whats the

People in New Orleans are stealing their own neighbors tv's! They have
no electricity, no home and no prospect of EVER watching that thing,
but they are stealing them! Sometimes people just do it because they
can.

I'm going to play with CLI (Win) and see how that goes.  Eventually, hoping
to switch these dumb boxes to Linux as well.  I'm assuming Boinc for Linux
is probably very streamlined...

The CLI for Boinc is not faster than the regular boincmgr.exe program,
in fact the manager runs the CLI. Just one of the things they fixed.
