Is this a joke?..like mentioned you have it in your siggy,and when you click on the link in your siggy it discribes what F@H is

Folding@Home is one of the highest profile distributed computing projects around, and is arguably the most rewarding to contribute to. Distributed computing, in its simplest terms, means thousands of individual computers coming together to do the same job as a supercomputer – process really fast. Each computer does a small part, and by adding all those parts together, you are left with a huge net result. The internet has made this all possible, and with distributed computing there is the potential to out-perform even the fastest supercomputers in the world – it’s that powerful a resource.

Wikipedia it up if you want more info

Just curious. Does the text-only version run in the background/tray or is does it have a taskbar space. I really cannot stand an unorginized taskbar.

I Prefer the graphical one, but I believe it does run in the background with no taskbar icon.
