At least this is doing something valuable, and other than making me feel good costs me nothing to have contributing.

It does cost you in electricity if you have a more modern chip that goes into a low-power mode when no work is being done. The PS3 takes about 200W to crunch F@H.

I figure that what I’ve spent on electricity over the last 4+ years, which is pretty high in Texas, will be well worth it if it allows someone a better quality of life than my father experienced his last year.

antiRepublicrat, thanks again for folding for the team!
