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.

Grix, how are you gettin on with that cancer program thing?

has yours reached 100% yet?
Just to let people know, you have to let the program run continuously, i thought if i put mine on snooze, and then shut down my computer, it would work. But it doesnt. It has to run non-stop until its finished, so my computer will be on for about the next month then......

Hmmmmm, mines really really slow then!
They both have the percentage completed on them.
Hmmmm, i think im going to need to leave mine on for a good couple of days then....
Unless im looknig at the wrong screen, is it the page with the diagram of the molecule on that tells you how far you've got, or the main page with the timer on?

Both work and home are Intel P3-500 with 128Mb RAM and a stack of HD space.
Yes, it should upload everything when it gets to 100%, and then download another set for processing.

I left mine on for 9 hours all last night, it was still on 0% this morning!!!
Ive got an AMD K6-2 400Mhz, what does this program need? A 5GHz Monster or something?!?!?!?
Does it upload all the information when it reaches 100%?
What spec PC do you have wookiee?

It never got off zero! it was running for qabout 3 hours stayed on 0%, my computers a bit slow you see.
I rebooted and the program started autoamtically with windows, the time had gone back to zero, and the task execution is still on zero as well.
