That's kind of a "it depends" question. For BOINC projects, you can attach and detach a particular project so the only thing actually on your computer is what you are currently crunching. For the other projects it is a matter of your own convenience. I tend to un-install any project I'm not crunching at the moment because the cache would get old and probably go past it's completion deadline.

Okay, thanks for answering. I guess once a month wouldn't be too bad. How do I sign up?

You know the irony of this, is that my nickname has been Tas for about 13 years now, from the Dragonlance novel character Tasslehoff Burrfoot. Kinda funny, I'm not a member of TAS. :) Thanks for the welcome.

Get back to bed? - It is morning here - going to wake up the kids for school in 10 minutes ... ;)
Had a good nights sleep - and feel almost rested ...

BTW - just started listening to the old song by the Beatles - Get Back! is just great, did not listen to that one in years! :)

That is wonderful! :D
Congrats on the great DPAD-contribution!

Please let me know when you attach to a TAS-project - if it is in the middle or later in the month - then I can put you into the stats. For the first week or 10 days I check all the TAS-members. :)
