I have been an active member of the TPU team for a couple of months now and will be crunching for the upcoming challenge. I can say first hand that this is an amazing community with heaps of spirit who are willing to help others at the drop of a hat. There is, in my opinion, no better community to belong to while doing the best we can to curb Cancer, Aids, clean energy and the Genome project. There is no better feeling in the world to know that something as simple as donating spare Cpu cycles can have such a profound impact on peoples lives. Whether you know someone who has been affected by Cancer or Aids or not. Why not come over and join in to be the next step in helping others with the freedom and peace of mind we all know they deserve.
Thanks.
