How do I delete a computer I no longer use for Boinc? I can't find the page. I see the merge but what would that do?

To add,if merge is the way to get rid of computer,which way should I do it.Last time I merged the oldest compuer start date got lost.

To delete a computer you have to wait until there are no results associated with that computer (can take a few weeks to several months). At this point there will be a delete link at the bottom of the computers page.

I have one computer but for some reason it is listed three times with three different ID numbers.
Only one ID is crunching numbers, the other two are idle.
I have no idea how this happened, it was about one week after I signed up.
So what to do?

You actaully only have two computers listed. You should be able to merge these two, the instructions are at the bottom of the screen when you select delete/merge.

Something else you should know is that BOINC may not work properly when anything older than O/S X. You don't seem to be having any problems, but just thought I should mention it.
