But WCG crunchers can be proud of the fact that we have contributed – this from the WCG web site – 96,695 years, 223 days, 09 hours,26 minutes, 30 seconds to this effort. This is the power of Public Distributed Computing via the BOINC software on which our projects are run.

I cannot begin to contemplate how this work would have gotten to this point without us, except at the expensive cost of processing time on some supercomputer.

You, too, dear reader, can be a part of this incredible process. Visit either WCG or BOINC, download and install the software, and attach to this and other worthy projects at the WCG web site and also at the BOINC website. You financial cost is about the same as a 100-150 watt light bulb. Your personal satisfaction at being a part of this is immeasurable.
