Wow papa, didn't know. Seeing Dylans pics makes me even more glad I'm a small part of this team. May God give us the power to help him.

You'll show up when your first WU is done. Don't give up. Thanks for joining us !!!!

[papasmurf]

Yeah, depending on the size and time it takes to fold your WU, it could take a day or so...but it's worth it. I was just beside myself when i finished the first one.

:O)

I won't give up! Actually...the console binary just made my Linux box unresponsive and I had to reboot it remotely. I "think" there's an X client though and I'll try that one. :-)

[hiredhand]

I'll know in a day or so then. :-) Thanks!

This makes the 3rd good reason to join...

1. It helps kids like Dylan
2. It's good clean geek fun
3. It rubs the dummies the wrong way, that we're smokin' to the top...

thanks for sharing that.

[Seamoth]

Bump. Thank you for sharing this story...

Wow, that is a very moving tribute to your friends' son, Dylan. I am glad that we can be a small part of the much bigger picture of medical research.

Unitl systematic got the ball rolling in November the Free Republic Folders was just a couple of FReepers and whatever systems I could cobble together crunching work units. After systematic started advertising on a Thanksgiving thread we started to grow and have completed several hundred work units in just a month. He deserves the shout out today.

Papasmurf thank you very much for helping us keep our eye on the prize of advancing medical research. And if this spurs on Daily Kos and Democratic Underground to a healthy competition with us, even better.

Blessings for a Merry Christmas and a terrific New Year.

I really hope that you downloaded the Folding@Home agent not the SETI BOINC agent. Trip over here to download:

And remember it is team 36120.

[hiredhand]

Yeah. :-) I've got the right one. I should show up on team stats soon. This morning I was about 80%+ done with the first WU. :-)
