question is, does uncle bill run RAH on his foundation computers? also why not install that on some of the MS systems if they are pc's. imagine all that computing power.

too bad he did not mention rosetta@home the project could use the publicity

That was my point...he didn't mention ANY project! It was his chance to ask people to donate their spare cycles towards a program he obviously feels passionate about! AND he wrote computer programs!!!! Money can go along way towards solving some of the Worlds issues, but so can our computers! And that is not near as much cost to each one of us!!
I wish I had a working email address, that he actually reads, so we could advise him on this.

Here's a place to ask for research grants from him. You might want to check if it includes any email addresses that will actually reach him, instead of people paid to read any email people try to send him.
