Screensavers for a cause

Options
Thought I'd post a couple of useful screen savers you can download for free. You will basically be downloading an application that will work as a screensaver. When you're not using your computer it will use your computer to make calculations for a worthy cause. Read more on each page what it does and for whom - most of these sound a bit techie, but don't let that scare you off.

http://boinc.berkeley.edu/ (listing several projects - click 'chose project and once loaded, hover mouse over the project names to get more info).

http://www.usefulscreensaver.com.au/home/ (a little bit different...)



I am sure there are plenty more useful projects around - if anyone knows any feel free to post them.
