Bump to all of our current folders, and to all those that want to join.

Check in and let us know how folding goes!

On or off the ping list, I am the guy.

Several folks have asked to learn more about the Folding@Home project. I will provide information here that talks about the science and the math behind F@H.

Above all, remember that F@H is about finding a cure to the diseases that take the live and minds of our loved ones. Basic research is generated concerning the causes of Alzheimers, Parkinsons and BSE, among others.

F@H is an outgrowth out the Genone@Home project started back in the 90's. That project ended April 14, 2004 and Folding@Home is its offspring.

Folding@Home is a combination of Distributed Computing and Serious Math, sent out all over the world to about 190,000 contributors and 1,900,000 computers.

Check out these links to learn more about F@H:
