Hi there, How do I delete my Boinc account?

I like to participate with Boinc only when a GUI is ready for the Macintosh.
In the meantime I use the Classic version (this is a real screensaver, and not CLI crap).
You windows users has a nice Graphic User Interface, but this is not yet the case with us Macintosh users. So.... How do I delete my Boinc account? I can't find any info on this website how to do this. Can anyone help?

I don't think you can ... But what do you need to delete it for? - Just don't use it.

Just uninstall the program,

Set you preference in seti to 0 work units and 0 share.

Good Luck in the future....

I don't use the Boinc application anymore, but my preferences in the current Boinc aacount still says that I have completed 1.293 work units in Classic.
I have already returned to the Classic S@H and just delivered my 1.490th work unit.
When in the future a Boinc GUI is ready for the Macintosh I will return to Boinc but then with a higher number of classic S@H work units.

This is why I want to delete the Boinc account, I can always make an new account.

Paul.

Your current account should be updated with the final S@H classic stats sometime after S@H classic is shut down. Switching to a new account would just have 0 for the S@H classic credit.
