http://fightaidsathome.org is the home page of an organisation that uses spare compute time on your pc to run software to help in AIDS research.

It is relaticely simple to join, and costs you zilch. I chose to join a team named IPOCO, but teams are optional things. IPOCO was founded by a guy who posts on the Shack, so I saw every reason to join it.

There's a bit of downloading of software to do, but that's pretty automatic, and it doesn't seem to conflict with any other resources. It seems to me that we all can and should nmake a contribution somewhere. This one seesms practical.
