I couldn't come up with a decent title to describe this topic, but...
I'm not going to do this immediately, but I'm thinking about the idea of giving computers to the poor, and asking them to show their appreciation by crunching FaD. Uploading and downloading work, as well as updating the program, shouldn't use up more than $5-$6 a month on an old-style AOL account, if FaD is all they do(probably would be a good idea to clarify the status of the account).
Maybe figure out how much crunching it would take to get about 5000 points for every dollar on the computer and then name that date as part of the deal.
I expect to receive at least a little flaming, but what do you think of my idea?
