"Let's start with this easy question. Orbit@home is a project based on BOINC and ORSA, monitoring the orbit of all the asteroids passing near the Earth. Every time a new asteroid is discovered or re-observed, the orbit of the asteroid is updated and propagated in future to check for possible impacts with the Earth."

This project is just gearing up for Alpha testing. I'm #667. There is no work yet, as the apps have not been completed. Sounds like in July. Still it doesn't hurt to have a few Macs listed as available.

Thanks for the heads up Knightrider.
