For those who dont know what it is; Ill make it simple, basically your turning your computer into a scientific lab. They use your computer to break down proteins which in term will eventually find cures for diseases as well as cancer. To me this is a very good idea and has gone from being just command prompted to GUI ( user interface ) ready.

If you would like anymore information please feel free to ask me! They also take donations which are tax write offs. ( Also keep in mind most companies will donate the same amount of money you donate, so i you donate 100 bucks odds are your employer will do the same )

This is a very worth endeavor to consider. Also if you are an Evga fan they will actually pay you to do this! Razz ( Per milestone you get 5 Evga bucks Razz )

Feel free to ask me about it on teamspeak! Ill be glad to tell you what its all about!

( Oh yea Luke, we can also start a team on their website so that all the BK members can contribute to one place )
