Catch me if you can

The World Community Grid will be one year old on Monday, and they have launched a new project: FightAIDS@Home:
FightAIDS@Home (Launched November 21, 2005)
FightAIDS@Home is a project focused on using computation methods to identify candidate drugs that have the right shape and chemical characteristics to block HIV protease. This approach is called 'Structure-Based Drug Design', and according to the National Institute of General Medical Sciences, it has already had a dramatic effect on the lives of people living with AIDS.
I've been running the WCG as a screensaver, with no problem (it's hardly noticable) since the end of July and have thus far accumulated over 200 hours of runtime.
