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.

...and download the software. It runs in your computer's spare cycles and analyses potential cures for cancer.
All other relevant info can be found on the site.
If anyone is interested in joining it, I have created a team called 'Special Reserve Forum Regulars'.

Just visited the website - My computer is having real problems at the moment and wont seem to download anything, but I will get it sorted hopefully by the end of the week and join so you can count me in!!!
Check the FoG forum for a thread of the same name, for more info on the current (temporary) problems with the site.
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 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.
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.
