Anyone else participating in the Quake-Catcher Network?

I believe JTokash is invloved, or at least interested.

I tried downloading the software, and couldn't get it to work on my computer (which doesn't say much for my computer savy)

I didn't have a supported laptop but they will sell you a USB accelerometer so a desktop PC or Mac can participate. I got mine working this week.

I sort of remember clicking on a test link, and the site came back saying go ahead with the download, I'm sure it's my lack of any advanced computer application knowledge that kept it from working.

Yep, when I posted about this a while ago, it was still in the testing phase. I am on three BOINC progects and currently have 328385.75 credits. I'll have to go see if my laptop will work for the new project, but if not I'll hold off until I can afford the USB gizmo. Too bad I can't get a penny for every hundred (or even thousand) credits I accumulate, LOL!

re 6

Great

re 7

I hear you, I also do Folding@home projects, about 2,239,901 points so far. My inside computers, 10 CPUs and 3 graphics cards keep our family room toasty. I also have three older Compaq servers that warm up the lower garage. They make way too much noise to be inside.
