    Hi Craig here,

    I've Just joined the Einstein@home, however, I have no idea what my computer is working on. So where do I go to learn more. The home page is a bit busy and not clear.

    Any hints, pointers or explainations are welcome.

        Found this information on the main website page

        Einstein@Home is a program that uses your computer's idle time to search for spinning neutron stars (also called pulsars) using data from the LIGO and GEO gravitational wave detectors. Einstein@Home is a World Year of Physics 2005 project supported by the American Physical Society (APS) and by a number of international organizations.

        If you would like to take part, please follow the "Join Einstein@Home" instructions to the left. Einstein@Home is available for Windows, Linux and Macintosh OS X computers.

        Einstein@Home is currently searching the most sensitive 840 hours of data from LIGO's first science run at design sensitivity (S5). For more information, please see the "Science information" section on the left of this page.

        hope this helps
