<p>While Stanford's Folding@Home is in the limelight due to some great PR because of Sony and friends, the granddaddy of all distributed computing projects is still kickin', but only barely.

<blockquote>Although we are pleased with the success of last winter's funding drive, and grateful for the generosity of our donors, we are still operating with minimal funds. These budget constraints have forced us down to less than 3 full time employees.</blockquote>
