Minimum requirements includes graphics? [Resolved]

The min requirements page includes "In order to participate in World Community Grid, need to have at least the following:
* The ability to display graphics"

This isn't true. Headless machines which never display any graphics can participate just fine.

Re: Minimum requirements includes graphics?

Right above it in my version it says:

What are the recommended minimum system specifications?

There are those that sneaker-net, have no Internet connection for all or some of their crunchers and still participate successfully.

Anyway, got a better line to propose?

Maybe make a change to the requirement:

  • The ability to display graphics, in order to see them.

    Smile and be happy that your P3/P4 is not classified as millstone, too slow to grind results.

    Great!

    I just thought that having "need" there might have the possibility of discouraging new users. Much clearer now.
