All of which I already have, without needing to change anything.

It is easy to install, and it is funny to install and use something new !

It's not fun for me to install something that just duplicates something
I already have.

But you must see it from the Berkeley site, too. There was problems with 
Classic, too. Like cheating, sending out the WUs a lot of more like on 
boinc (boinc sends the WU out 3 times - classic up to 12 times),...

None of which concerns me.  Those are Berkeley's problems, not mine.
As I said, I just installed it and run it, and ignore it most of the
time; I usually don't even keep track of how many WUs it's processed,
let alone worry about how many times they've been sent out.  It could
have been processing the same WU over and over for the last six months
for all I know.

Now you can partipicate in a lot of more projects.

I'm not interested in participating in a more projects.  One at a time
is enough for me.  And GIMPS fits what I want just fine.

This all is a good further development of classic.

It's a *replacement* for Classic.  As I said before, if I have to replace
it, I'd rather replace it with something unconnected with Berkeley
(something which I also find more interesting).
