We will float somewhere between #20 and #30. There are a lot of unknowns right now, with Linux SMP and PS3s getting so much attention.

We will continue to grow slowly until a major political or military crisis hits. Then FR will double in web hits and we will gain with them. We will also gain as our folders upgrade systems and add their PS3s, which several have already done.

If just a few teams above us fade away then we could easily be Top 10.

Top 30 is reasonable

Haven’t heard much about this lately - but there was a Nova program on PBS on Wednesday Feb 15 about “Origami” which mentioned the protein folding issue.

F@H has switched to high density folders, mostly specialized GPUs. They also now have a web folding site that is a good way to fold without any installs.

I set an occasional blip from them on the science.

On FR, I just haven't had the time to start a new thread to pump up the masses.
