The neat thing is that we always beat the projections because we keep increasing our output.
A few weeks ago we were at 28K pts/day today we are over 41K pts/day.
I'll have my new pc in a few weeks and I will be able to contribute far more than the tiny amount I have done so far.
Welcome...Check the red "flower" in about 1/2 hour....The first results are an estimate and most of the time you see the time drop to 1-3 days. (unless you have a super slow computer, which is also great to have contribute)
That's good to know, I have a pretty fast computer and DSL, is there a way I can see how much folding my computer is processing?

Thanks it looks like I've completed 2/500, yikes!
Warning: Checking on Folding Stats is almost as addictive as the rest of FreeRepublic.
I was afraid of that. Thanks for the welcome. I've loaned my old puter to the m.i.l. when she gets her's back, I'll piggyback it to just run foldings.
At our current rate of production, we're guaranteed to be in the top 100 in 3 or 4 months. We're outproducing all but 35 of the top 100 teams, but some of those have been clocking up points for years, so they're in the megamillion point range.
I'm also not discouraging the DU team, but I can't wait until they hit that wall, around 400, where the gaps between the teams is a half-day's worth of points.... and then let the reality of the numbers sink in...
... and fear not, old klutz still has a few more tricks up his sleeve, to get us over a few of the speed bumps up ahead, that we may encounter... I'm shooting myself for the top 100 in users, a personal goal, that also helps the team along. Currently, at 1400, and moving up about 100 positions per day.
First couple of weeks, I was getting up early to check the 6am updates, and staying up past my bedtime, to catch the midnight updates.... 2 months later, I still find myself checking in a 6, 9, 12, 3, 6, 9, 12.... and sometime 3 :)
They never last 10 days unless you're running a computer that's really really old :)
That's something to look forward too, seriously it's been a long winter.
It's about 5 years old, my sons are building me a new one, suppose to have it by Spring, much faster, better for gaming.
How much did your recent foray with 90 add? Didn't seem as big as we'd all wish, but who am I to complain heh.
I added 3 top ends and got near 4-5 hundred a day as far as points.
I thought I was the only one!
Its pretty bad when I stay late at work just to catch the 6:00 pm update, or go to bed past midnight just to check on new folders.
Don't be shy about asking any questions, everybody here is willing to help you through any bumps. Feel free to ask any friends to join us also. It's a great cause.
Thanks for the welcome, I already sent a link to my kids, told them to use 36120 as their team.
OK, I just signed up, downloaded, installed, and running. :-)
