A while ago in the BBC we looked at using a screensaver as a way of sharing unused CPU power across the internet; which got hijacked and renamed GRID computing. has anyone had experience of this or any thoughts as to its potential these days. i know its been tried before but wasn't sure if today's dynamic CPUs go into idle/shutdown in a different way. also more people being green may mean people turn off their computers more often than previously. all thoughts / pointers appreciated thanks miles ________________________________________________________________________ This e-mail has been scanned for all viruses by Star.
