No-one said that you had to run the client on EVERY machine, run it on just
one or two. ~370k every 38hrs doesn't seem much to me. Ok about 7M a month if
you are doing 24/7.

What the hell is RC5 anyway, I bet they aren't doing something as cool as
looking for inteligent life from another galaxy. You are list as a
co-discoverer if you are the one that processes the WU that finds something.

Hey don't laugh, there was a time when the earth was flat and man couldn't fly.
Now a 24hr flight to London cost about $2k.

Regards
Harry
