What do you think is the untapped computer power in the world. I believe we just scratched the surface, but I keep wondering how big that pool is...it make my mind wonder :).

There are lots of computers, laptops, netbooks, and even routers, phones and TVs that could be used.
A crunching phone could double as a hand warmer  |

I noticed the other day that tourist information centers around here often have several computers for customers sitting idle 99% of the time. I am thinking about suggesting they start crunching for WCG.

I think that we should replace heaters with computers cruching for WCG. Twice the efficiency!

Exactly!
Winter is long here. I have the choice of dumb heaters or smart hearters that do a lot while they are heating the house. |
