They have a client for win/linux/unix/mac/etc. http://www.pledgebank.com/gridgirl#comment_6361 Hi Mike... Some people might use their grids for bad purposes (just like a person might use anything -- their car -- for bad or for good). This grid is all above board, I can assure you. I'm on the IBM team that works with it and we're getting ready to wrap up the Human Proteome research and start cancer research. Nothing worrisome there....except the cancer itself. Check out www.worldcommunitygrid.org for more details. Thanks... Lynne http://www.pledgebank.com/gridgirl#comment_6281 Personally I would stay away from grid computing. The US military are using it to research biological and chemical weapons, you could be unaware that it is your computer helping to bring suffering to people's lives. Also these systems are a very similar concept to the 'zombie botnets' that send spam emails from hijacked computers, only you are inviting them to do so. http://www.pledgebank.com/gridgirl#comment_3518 No problem, thanks for starting it Lynne! Just one more! It is worthy, and I thank you for bringing it to light! http://www.pledgebank.com/gridgirl#comment_3513 Thanks Paul O. for your comments! This is such a worthy program and I hope everyone gets on board. Free, easy philathropy -- that's a pretty great thing! Please tell your friends! http://www.pledgebank.com/gridgirl#comment_3501 Runs great on my wireless laptop, and gives a realtime visual on folding process! http://www.pledgebank.com/gridgirl#comment_3498 This is going to benefit all of us, including your grandchildren! Please pledge! http://www.pledgebank.com/gridgirl#comment_3366 Hi Miles... Thanks for asking! It's coming! We're working on it. We love Mac guys too. I think it's slated to be out this fall. Thanks.. Lynne http://www.pledgebank.com/gridgirl#comment_3365 There is no linux/mac version, is there? Perhaps you could choose a distrubuted computing program which is open source and runs on many OSes.
