What I like about the original effort at genx.net, and now the one through bovine, is that we are apart of a team effort...bovine even has listed what it has plans to do with the $10k ($8k goes to Project Gutenburg(sp?))... I don't know, I like the competitive nature of the bovine project (we are ~1500blocks behind first place right now)...at DESCHALL, I have little chance of getting in the top 1000 :( Marc G.
