A more "fair/legal" way is to convince your organization that they could use a partnership with WCG as a positive marketing and communication criteria to improve their image in the public. For that you have to go top down. Unfortunately it is a winner taks all approach: Either you get your point and all company machines get Boinc/WCG as a standard feature or you fail and ...zero, nothing. But it is worth trying. Yeah I tried that at my old work and they, as a local Government, couldn't figure out how to justify the electrical expense to the taxpayers. That was a potential 10k pc's!!! AND all get upgraded every 4 years!!! That would have meant fairly new pc's crunching not just older stuff!   |

my lot are not that charitable and not large enough to make such an impact on the overall scheme of things, we have a fairly open computer policy where I work. I do most of my own PC maintenance and added my own graphics card and second monitor (most other upgrades I have had to demand and specify). I'm usually the first stop when my colleague has problems on his computer, the guy who comes in once a month sorts anything else. They can't say I buggered it up with boinc as my computer runs fine with boinc as well.
