But I still have no idea what I have contributed to! Is there somewhere on this site that can explain to a dummy like me what is going on? One small page wouldn't hurt would it? Is the data creating the image files? (png/jpg's). Are BOINC users helping? Example would be the old grid.org, seti : they at least made effort to inform users where/what the units where. Thanks Dan ID: 29775 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

It's called the home page - http://milkyway.cs.rpi.edu/milkyway/ You can also try this thread - http://milkyway.cs.rpi.edu/milkyway/forum_thread.php?id=643#11115 ID: 29778 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote
