[:o)] ...yes; always a dangerous thing. LOL

I recently installed the SETI@home screensaver and was looking over the teams (they track the work your machine does and a team can get credit).

I tried this a few years ago and it didn't work well with something, not sure what, but it seems to work fine now. It has been a couple weeks and other that normal, self-inflicted problems, there have been none.

Anyway, I Digress, is/are there already TW-related (perhaps server-related) teams? I looked over roughly 80 teams and saw none. But they were listed in order of hours completed also.

The screensaver URL is http://setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu/ and all can be read over there. If there is a team already, i would join, if not I'll make one, even if I am the only one in it, lol.

Would it slow all the time or just when active?

Depends on what you are doing in the process.

As far as TW, not a thing, since I do not play in large turn games, the screensaver does not have time to activate.

Well I took a look. A bit confusing at first, but got the hang of it's intent after reading. Are you planning to create a team based on TradeWars, I assume, or something else? I was wondering what the feesability of adding TradeWars Academy on this would be. However, if you are going to do a team, I'll join you if you like.
