I'm running Einstein (along with SETI) as I wanna do my bit for science.
I find pulsars fascinating, and the sheer magnitude of the project is phenomenal.
I think the project, and others like it, are very much part of 21st century life, and 'crunching' will become a way of life, as we in our microcosmic existance use the power of the machine to advance in science and evolve, or more importantly, just understand.
I think all educational establishments should jump on board with such projects.
Think of all the idle time in the evening, which could be put to good use.
I think it's time for some lobbying.

Vive La BOINC!
