Just a quick update to let you know that Team BeOS is still churning away at quite a few important projects, using the spare CPU cycles of computers from around the world.
Here's what Scottmc has to say about the issue. (Current leader of Team BeOS.)
Hey all,
This is Scottmc from TeamBeOS.com and BeDrivers.com. This is to alert everyone to the new BeOS clients available for a couple of the DC projects. One is called Eccp109 and already has 59 BeOS crunchers and has moved into 19th place!. The other is the newest project available to BeOS users and is called Distributed Folding. It is a Protien Folding project being run by the Univeristy of Toronto.
It took them a few extra weeks to get the BeOS client working along with Peter's help in a few places. So far Team BeOS only has 6 members on this project and are in 93rd place. Perhaps it's because most don't know about it yet? Many people kept saying "if only there were a medical type DC project with a BeOS client", well now is the time. The Folding@Home guys were taking a poll last month of which OS to port to next and BeOS came in near the top, but then they said we don't trust the poll, that there can't be that many people still interested in BeOS. Well lets shows those guys they are wrong! (There's 28 member on the Folding@Home team even without a BeOS client!)
For a list of the various DC projects in which Team BeOS participates in check www.TeamBeOS.com

The BeOSJournal is involved with the Folding project, and is presently in third place after just under 2 weeks work. Rock on!
