I don't understand the difference, between BOINC & Rosetta

BOINC is a car.
Rosetta is a box of groceries on the back seat.
ALL projects are boxes of items being carried in the car.

If you want to know what Rosetta is working on, visit their web site.

Fortunately for me, Dave has already answered my questions and concerns, Mr. "Help desk expert", in a well-explained manner, and without the 'go visit their (unlinked and rather lame) website'.

Thanks for your reply, Dave.

Okay, then in my humble opinion it's BOINC that isn't informative, in my case to the point that I don't know exactly what I'm contributing to nor feel like I'm helping.

Here's my screen cap posting attempt:

I'm considering redirecting my computer's resources to BOINC/Rosetta (I don't understand the difference, between BOINC & Rosetta, but that's another matter), but *if* I've installed it correctly and gotten it running correctly, I've found B/R to be lacking.

Specifically, B/R isn't informative at all about what specifically it's working on, how I adjust it to work on exactly what I want to contribute to, etc.

I could use either some handholding, or to be told that B/R isn't nearly as informative/directable as Folding.

Thank you.


P.S. - as an aside ONLY, the way I understand it, B/R creates the foundational work which Folding then expands upon.

P.P.S. - I can't figure out how to post a screen cap image of Folding's status screen, for those not familiar with it.
