What don't you like about Boinc other than that it is "new" and has more features?

Number 1 reason:  Installing it would require me to change the way I have
S@H installed.  I want a drop-in replacement for the Classic client that
will require no changes to my custom scripts, setup, etc.

Sorry, but no go there. That is the nature of change. Sometimes "backwards compatibility" is too backwards to consider worthwhile.

You could dream forever that someone goes to the trouble to write some sort of emulator for you. Then again, Boinc sounds easier and better.

An awful lot was learnt from s@h-classic. The Science and methods move onwards.

You must have learnt a few things in putting your various scripts together. There's now new possibilities to experiment with...

Number 2 reason:  I have no interest in participating in any of the other
things BOINC is doing.  I don't want to be part of the BOINC project.

No need to. Just attach to s@h only.

Number 3 reason:  I hate the BOINC name.

You are welcome to rename it anything you like! You need only see the s@h stuff.

Any one of the reasons above would be enough to keep me from
participating.

Enjoy your spare time :-)
