On Saturday, a childhood hero of mine - David Rocastle - died of a form of cancer. He was 33.
My best friend's dad also died from cancer a few years ago.
I also fear cancer because, though I've never smoked, I grew up with two parents who were heavy smokers; my mum has since given up, but my dad continues to smoke reasonably heavily.
Now all of us with PC's or Mac's have a chance to assist in finding a cure for this disease.

It was such a shock to hear about David Rocastle - I remember him best for helping Arsenal to that infamous victory at Anfield beating my team Liverpool to the championship in 88.

Hi mattyboy.
Check the FoG forum for a thread of the same name, for more info on the current (temporary) problems with the site.

Thanks Wookiee!! Will do!!
Kenny Everett was great... I remember the day they announced his death on the news quite well...
Cheers saesee.
Kenny Everett was a favourite of mine too.
Maybe if people don't take part in this, we should "round 'em up, put 'em in a field, and BOMB THE B***ARDS!" :-)

I have lost a member of my family to cancer. He was 75, so he had a good life, and was very happy throughout, but its still very sad, and I`d like to do what I can.
I have little time on the net at the moment, as I am at home (I've only posted 2 mesaages in three days!), but will be able to do much more when I return to uni in just over two weeks.
Will the cancer help still be running? If it won't be, then let me know, and I'll try my best to come on using this computer.

I'm sure it'll still be running! They need around 24 million processor hours, so it'll run for some time yet.
See the thread of the same name on the FoG forum for much more info; any CPU time you can devote will be of use, but unless the machine is on for hours at a time - or permanently - to be honest, it's probably not worth it; it takes hours to process one batch.
