Steve, one approach that might work with non-geeks is to get them to use the Boinc screensavers. Some of the projects have very pretty graphics - Einstein AT Home is excellent - so this might appeal. We know that screensavers consume CPU cycles but if its a screensaver or nothing then we are better off having lots of new team members running the screensaver version.

Welcome to the Team there SirGCal, you sure are productive in the stats. In a way, something good came to you from not being able to sleep, you found our forum. Whoopie !
Congratulations SirGCal on your recognition and your devotion of crunching for the team effort and all those projects that you have worked appreciate your help too.
Challenge me, or correct me, but don't ask me to die quietly.

Ah yes... I do remember those awards! And I believe you received not one but plenty. If memory still serves me you were one of the main crunchers of our Team on SETI. I did the calculations and award attributions for several issues of our newsletter.
Don't be a stranger now! Come by when you can and drop us a line.
