Very well done boopme :thumbsup:

I've only completed 17 so far but they seem to have been good scorers. Just a pity that more of our BC members don't join in.

It is a great cause Folks - how about it??

Well thanks Rowal. I wasn't really looking for any thanks. As much as I was commenting on how effortlessly I got to 50. I didn't do anything but install it . Now tho' I feel I helped something. :thumbsup:

I wonder if any who was lucky enough to get a PS3 (so far) has used the Folding@Home firmware or even knows about it. That is the main reason I want the PS3. But I can settle with the Wii.

At first, it was freezing, so I uninstalled then re-installed and everything's working beautifully! Posted Image

As of right now I'm at 3044/50000. Very cool! Posted Image

Thanks rowal5555,
When I first about this I wasn't sure I wanted to do it.
But now I think it's so cool, when I'm not working on the computer, I just sit there and watch frame by frame!!! :flowers:

Are you only 'officially' on the team when you complete a work unit??
Just want to make sure my points go to the right place! :trumpet:

Thanx for the gentle persuasion tink536! :thumbsup:

I also joined Folding@home, just today!

Our good buddy rowal5555 was kind enough to pm me a bunch of great info on this topic, way before Christmas.Kinda forgot about it until now!

The research is near and dear, as it is for many of us.

And yes, it's "Very Cool" watching it work away!

I can hardly wait for the first "Official" Stats too!
