Hello,

Before I say anything I must say this: GridRepublic is one of the most exciting projects that I've seen in my entire life of network engineering. Period.

That said, I must ask--is it possible, without trying to dig thru docs, to find out approximately what a "CPU-year" is? I know the definition, but not the context. What type of machine is used for reference? What chipset? What processor speed at what RAM size? Etc

I am going to send every "geek" I know to parcipitate in this but, trust me, they're all gonna want to know the same thing. We're spec-happy.

Thanks for your help,

R
