[Colchester] BOINC and Rosetta

[Phillip Sacre]

Unfortunately the fan on my machine starts making a sound like a jet 
engine taking off when my processor usage reaches 100%, so unfortunately 
I've had to set it to a fairly low value :-(

But if you want to set up a Colchester LUG group I'm happy to join.

Cheers
Phill
