World Community Grid Update

A little update on my participation on the World Community Grid project. I’ve been running one of my desktops at work on the project for over a year now and the progress is looking quite impressive.
Each project has unique minimum requirements. If your computer does not meet the minimum requirements for a project, you will not receive work from that project. I have been involved in the following projects:
- FightAIDS@Home
- Genome Comparison
- Help Cure Muscular Dystrophy
- Help Defeat Cancer
- Human Proteome Folding 2
My statistics from the day I started this project include solving 1511 results and accumulating over 350000 points, ranking me a mere 8790 in the project. So much for being number one 
I strongly encourage anyone with an idle computer to join the program and put that computing power to bettering mankind!
