as a user, yes. as an admin of any system greater than 1 box, i can see
many advantages of having system software that is 'grid capable'.

in a system of 1+, where is there no advantage of having a grid to share
any form of number crunching, program compiling? or anything else that will
take a single computer a long time to accomplish?

and again, for a single box, i agree 100%, to a point.

that point being if i am not doing any thing, why not share?

seti.org, for example, which i admit, i have not yet joined. but key word

as for members of this list, there are several that i would open my system
to and do so readily.
