It's actually Yanowhiz with his ?25 CPU's firing up the folding envirornment? (like global warming - except for the good?)
or maybe royal5555 with a leaf-folding blower? IDK

I ride a simple scooter today - tomorrow - maybe something else.

For your information I only have 5 at the moment reporting into F@H. I currently added one more computer, my friends. What is fun is, when I fix someone's computer I also tell them about the program for helping humanity. If they agree, with there permission I install it under my name. Most of the time my mom's friends leave there computer on doing nothing, and I told them this way you can help research for diseases. It's a lot more achievable than SETI@Home (in my opinion).

*Sorry for any spelling errors, here at college, they only have IE and I can't get portablefirefox to work, because they have a .exe blocker. So I'm stuck with the inferoir Internet Explorer.

EDIT: I do want to know who is TripFlex. Whoever it is, is brining in twice as much as me. 10 computesr! with roughly 3800 points a week! Eep!

*yano looks for more computers.

Dang, I just realised that they now have version 4 out. I wonder if it stuffs up again when I install it on my machine. Last time I formatted it started the WU count at 0 and sort of stuffed up at first :/

Yeah who is tripflex?? I was waiting patiently to pass sneaky cyber and then I see him go in front of me out of no where!! ATM I have 1 dedicated and 1 ocasional folder. I just got another P3 system so I'm probably gunna format that and have F@H running on that too, so I can get twice as much done! :thumbsup:

Looks like I'm back to my own 4 cpu's on 2 machines. A while ago I was credited with 1 WU and a handful of points for a unit which didn't complete??

Read somewhere that the Vista laptop uses 50% of the cpu's by default, so changed the power options to 100% and it is now taking about 52mins/frame, much quicker than it was.

FOLD ON TEAM.

Yes and it works! Especially if they are motivated like me by a relative who had a disease who could be cured by the knowledge of the folding of protein cells.
