Some people are really into computer management, software development, manipulating the workings and features of BOINC and other applications used in distributed computing. I began running almost when it first began, which, as you pointed out, was before BOINC. These forums started in August 2005, development of BOINC started 3 years before that." You said, "Let me start off with: I've had a BOINC account for over 20 years. I've been doing and other BOINC projects for a long time, but don't really get into the inner details of them, as you can obviously see. Thanks for pointing out the errors in my naive posts.
