    Done. My machine runs 24/7, so it's sitting idle all night (apart from a
    drive mirroring operation).

    I'm signed up and running, so I'll be making my modest
    contribution. Unfotunately I'm only V.90 dial up here so it'll be evenings
    before I can upload workunits, but it's a start.

    One small step for a man...
