Background
Former RM living in UK, 3rd marriage, 3 brilliant kids. Love of all things scientific since childhood. BA Hons(2:1)in maths w stats, many moons ago. Wrote my first code in basic in early 1980's. Slowly heading to a comfortable retirement when I can spend more electric & other resources on BOINC. Been seriously crunching since 2003, interest has peaked again after scrapping 14 (!) old PC's & upgrading to a watercooled Ryzen 5 3600 with 32GB ram & an EVGA RTX 2060. Favourite interests are mathematics (number theory, Riemann, etc), classical music(Piano concertos, etc), and looking at country homes I can't afford to buy.
Opinion
Brilliant concept. If organisations were given prizes this should be a Nobel candidate. The massive range of scientific investigation is stunning, and the depth makes this a world class project that should be included on every new PC/laptop, with the option to OPT-OUT if needed, otherwise it should run as default on every piece of hardware in existence.
