Nevermind...it just showed up.

says we broke 900, and are ranked 891... woohoo!
Nevermind....I now show 3 total WU's completed.
I started yesterday and am on my second WU....my 11 year old has been monitoring our progress and is very excited.

BITE ME YOU STANFORD TWITS!!!
Go Huskies!!!
OK, I feel better now. I'll try and debug!
WooHoo! Second WU completed!

On a Mac, Folding@Home creates a folder in your User Library. ~/Library/Folding@Home. What you want to do is double click on FAHlog.txt to open it in TextEdit... it has all the uptodate info on what you are doing including frames / total frames info.
Hope this helps.
What is Folding@Home?
A Stanford University project to find out how proteins fold.
Why it's important:
Proteins folding wrong causes all kinds of diseases, like Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and forms of cancer. Folding@Home uses novel computational methods and large scale distributed computing, to simulate timescales thousands to millions of times longer than previously achieved. Through Folding@home, scientists now have the horsepower to study the mechanics of protein folding. With its ability to share the workload among hundred of thousands of computers economically, Folding@home can help scientists understand how proteins snap, or dont, into their predestined shapes and may help to explain the origins of diseases such as Alzheimers and apparently unrelated diseases. We're fueling research that could end all that.
How it works:
You download a safe, tested program that is certified by Stanford University. It gets work from Stanford, runs calculations using your spare computer power, and sends the results back to the University.
Is it safe?
Yes! Folding@Home rarely effects computer performance in any way and won't compromise your privacy in any way. It only uses the computing power you aren't using so it doesn't slow down other programs.
How to starting folding for Team FreeRepublic:
1.)Download the folding program from Stanford University's folding download page. Type in your desired username.
2) Type in 36120 for the team number. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT - if you get the number wrong, you won't be folding for team FreeRepublic!
3) The third question asks, "Launch automatically at machine startup, installing this as a service?" - We recommend you answer YES. Otherwise you will have to manually start the program after every reboot.
How can my computer help?
Even if he were given exclusive access to all of the worlds supercomputers, Standford still wouldnt have as much processing power as they get from the supercluster of peoples desktop systems Folding@home relies on. Modern supercomputers are essentially a cluster of hundreds of processors linked by fast networking. But Stanford needed the power of hundreds of thousands of processors, not just hundreds.
There's no reason to not get involved!
It's free, easy, and you can know you're helping every minute without lifting a finger.
Remember, our team number is 36120... 36120... 36120

I use an iMac laptop at work that's on from 8:00 until 4:00. [It's one of those white, small-screen jobs, less than 2 years old.] I can load it with any programs I see fit. From the excellently clear and precise information I've just given you, what sort of units should I set it up to work on--deadline, no deadline? [and any other hints you may have]
Here's the description of it:
Project 2200 is a continuation of project 736 (Protein A) starting from the native state.
Projects 735-737
These are simulations of protein A, a 46 residue protein that has a fold somewhat similar to villin (triple helix). Protein A is the largest of the proteins we have attempted to fold so far and presents new challenges in that its folding may involve the presence of intermediates. This is a base system for developing methods to tackle such situations and addressing larger and more complex proteins in the future.
Anyone know what the point count for this one is?

Thanks for pinging the Max Ping List
We could use every single idle Freeper computer!
WooHoo! Second WU completed!

Wow, once your 77 computers all kicked in you really accelerated up the chart. I expected Malsua to leave me in the dust before you caught up.
Great job. Now, to keep folding into the Top 100.
