I don't have many WUs completed, just about 2,500 in the past couple years
or so.  But I tried BOINC a few times and OMG it's horrible.  Many have said
this and many have replied saying these people don't like change or
something.  But I had all kinds of problems, from it running when it's not
suppose to (I want screensaver only), to not running at screensaver time. 
I'm a software designer myself so I should understand software, but man,
this looks like a product of some government agency gone awry.  You know how
people say if the government was a company, they'd go out of business?  Well
in my opinion BOINC is very similar.

Software is suppose to be easy to use, not difficult like BOINC.  I
understand the want to have a more open arcitecture, but it seems when
things get too open, things get way too complicated.  Or maybe this is just
BOINC, I dunno.

I know I'll get flamed for this, but there's no way anyone will convince me
otherwise.  I gave it a shot, twice.  I'll find something else for my
computer to do while it's "idle".

C YA!
