I am in process of putting my "new" old laptop to a format and installing opensuse. will then use it for folding too. Should not be on as often as my main pc, but I guess as long as it folds it folds...
Oh and welcome to all new members of the BC F@H team.

YH - every flip of a fold counts and helps.
I have a little 256 system that stumbles along on its own and I sometimes forget to check it and put up the results.
It may take it two weeks to complete a small assignment.
Fold on Friends. (except rowal5555 who is running overboard now. Watch out Yano!)

The only easy day was yesterday.

Greetings to all old and new folders.
Desktop was playing up so had to pop home before it broke me with nonstop uploading. LOL. Installed LogMeIn on each now so will be able to access any one without travelling halfway round the country. Petrol is too expensive for that carry on.
It appears that the investment in a couple of laptops is paying big dividends in Folding results, I have been very pleasantly surprised.
Look out Yano. My 10 years to catch you is down to a couple of months. LOL. Better find a few more relations to run F@H
When you are connected 24/7, you don't realise how much is going on in the background. With the 2 laptops in my tent finishing an average of 2 WUs/day, each WU takes 15 minutes to upload and at 10c/min it soon mounts to quite a bit of money but, all for the cause. Be home again in a few weeks and all will be back to normal.
The weather in Central Otago has been superb as usual, over 30C most days. Not really looking forward to coming back to the coast and the sea breezes.
Fold On Team.
Cheers

Way to Fold Billy O'Neal
My desktop was complaining, so am taking a break from folding.
*TMacK waiting for garage sales to start back up, so can get an old unit (or two) just for F@H.

At 1186 posts and .....well A LOT of pages. Would it be beneficial to close and lock this thread but keep it available for reference material. Then have me create and pin a F@H Part Deux thread?
This would make it easier, for new members to jump in and post here but still have access to the original. Your thoughts??

Welcome aboard Billy!
AniMod - I must confess that I haven't read this entire thread and don't think that I ever will.
How's about a locked "How to get Started" thread and one for the regular stuff?

Sounds, like you just volunteered SgtMaj. You should know better....
Let me know if I can be of help. You and the team decide what works best. It's your sandbox.
