OK, new thread for the next week, now that Pittsburgh has another Super Bowl ring.

First, a big shout out to the SETI and BOINC members who have added CPUs to the effort. Remember, its Team 36120, NOT Team 0.

Next, congrats to all for bumping our team up to 714 processors and 271 user names. We have a number of new users in the team, with over a 50 computers now from GetLoaded.com, a trucking support website, all contributing while their owners ply our freeways keeping the nation moving.

We now have 22 members who have contributed at least 10,000 points each. Greenbo, stylin19a, and smith288 are the latest to reach this milestone. Chesterbelloc and mediamole will join them this next week. Great job! Even dfwddr will make this mark one day ;`)

Even more impressive, our team now boasts 180 members who have folded at least 1,000 points. That is more than the entire number of folders for our erstwhile left-wing environazi competitors!

On the global front, Free Republic Folders is now listed at # 268. We will be in the Top 250 on Wednesday!

As we continue to grow there are a number of milestones coming around the bend:

Top 250 by February 10
Top 200 by the end of the February

We have 1,350,000 points so far and have folded over 10,000 WU. We will soon reach an exalted mark of folding a million points per month, each and every month! Fantastic!

Thanks again to all that are helping us advance science and promote the peaceful use of computers.

Thanks for joining up :)

What's our team number?

[JoeSixPack1]

Nevermind, got it. 36120

[JoeSixPack1]

I didn't use my FR screen name, but I'm there. :-)

[Malsua]

I didn't use my FR screen name, but I'm there. :-)

Well, why not? :) We all appreciate your help, no question of that, but I'm there, at my FR name as are many others. :)

[texas booster]

If you decide to change to your FR screen name, just do it before the work unit completes.

No loss of points to the one, the only JoeSixPack1.

[JoeSixPack1]

Not interested in name recognition, just to help find an Alzheimers cure. But I'll add my WU's, if wanted, to FR's team total. :-)

[Petronski]

Congratulations on joining up!

[JoeSixPack1]

I'm good, thanks. Working on it's 10th frame. :-)

[JoeSixPack1]

Thanks Petronski. I'd jump into a gorilla pit while eating grizzly bears for breakfast and wipe my chin with skunk butt if it would help find a cure. :-)

[Petronski]

Our fearless team leaders are doing wonderful, fabulous work pushing this forward. I'm just along for the ride, but I get a surprising amount of satisfaction from doing so little. I hope we can attract more and more people.

Welcome MontanaBeth - It's really funny how addictive this is, I'm constantly checking to see if one of my computers is nearing the end of a WU, so I can check my new standings... And, it's all for a good cause!

We need a few more CPUs and our march into the Top 100 is guaranteed.

Well, y'all are in trouble now! I went to Radio Shack and bought a thing called a "wireless G broadband router". It has taken this bachwardsashed country boy a week and a half to figure out how to get it running but I got it going last night. (This ain't no joke)

I will have another pc on sometime today and will hopefully pull myself out of the 70s where I have been stuck since the start of the year.

... and fear not, old klutz still has a few more tricks up his sleeve,

but....but Klutz, the DU'ers said that you "could not possibly" be able to add any more!

Just marking my place. Folding away, slowly ~sigh~ but surely.

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 :)

I though I was the only one doing it :)

I also check DU stats every 3 hours, just to make sure :)
