i am a person just outside the capital of Scotland, Edinburgh who runs Rosetta on an aging PC. Just plodding along. Why? I like to think that what I am doing may do something to change the world and cure the diseases that exist. I feel part of a worldwide movement who want to play their part also.

any PC is welcome no matter how slow, glad to have you on the project

Thank you for your support.

The sticking point is any "PC", i.e. non macintosh. Don't come here with a Mac of the same vintage though.

Do you have a hairbrush stuck up your arse!

I have worked on Mainframes, Minis, Amigas, BBCs, Orginal IBMs & Apple.
The term PC is more likely to be an IBM clone than a Mac.

I work in a recycling operation for computers, I see on average 6 macs per year compared with 50 000 PCs

With a IBM clone I can interchange components ie. Hard drives, memory and motherboards. With an Apple machine I am limited.

very true, pc parts are highly interchangeable and widely available.
due to apple's wanting to keep it to themselves attitude since their start, (case in point Franklin computers) their computers are not as widely available as the pc and also are not as interchangeable in parts as a pc. apple has a very all or nothing attitude in all aspects of their machine, from hardware to software.

In respect to Anthony Pritchard comments, I was having a bad hair day. In the past I used Apple's and Mac's which I am laissez-faire with since of the high cost. IBM clones and Apple Machines both have strengths and weaknesses. I don't want cause hassle between the UK and USA. Truce.

it's a true apple and oranges type of thing - pc vs mac

Hi greg_be,

What are thoughts on Rosetta? Since hopefully we have the apples and oranges out of the way.

its a good project and will have lots of benefits for researchers in helping speed up the process of making targeted drugs and find new ways of treating various diseases. i am in it for the cancer research which has yet to start, but in the mean time stuff like malaria has been examined here as well as many other things.

who cares what kind of computer and how fast the results you generate are. key thing is contribute to the cause of going through all the models of various disease proteins and helping find the model that works the best.

my computer sits idle alot of the time since i mainly do web surfing and a bit of game playing on it, so why not put the electricity to use doing something useful.

thats just a quick overview of my thoughts on this project.

I agree, utimately I am using my IBM-clone for other things. But todays computers are very powerful. So wh






I agree. In the past we, may have had 100 people looking for solutions manually. Now with they are 500,000 using distrubuted solutions.
After reading your profile, I see where you are coming from, but I have no experience of that life. I still think that Rosetta is wothwhile.

It cannot be a bad thing. Although we are members of different teams, I think that there is a common goal that we all strive for is: ( ) many things.

I know I am sitting on the fence, do I want to die old!

keep crunching this project and we could achieve star trek level medical cures by the time you are 70
