    Man, I've only got some 54K in 5 years! I don't fold here but I support everything you guys do with the folding. More power to ya'll, or should I say more cycles!

    I am throwing in the towel on folding.
    do not care about the points but I have really not been racking any up, I don't know if all the electricity I burn and all the time my PC's are on is doing any good.
    I have (2) Duo Core and (2) 2gig boxes all 4 have no less then a Gig of memory going at it 24/7 and some smaller less then gig boxes all running 24/7 and I see projects finish but suddenly I get no credit. I wonder if the work vaporises.
    If I can be shown that what I do is going to come of something I will continue but if it goes into the abyss, I see no reason to feed the electric company and run my CPU's at full throttle. :(

    what sadens me is the fact last year my mother fought a long battle with Cancer and won, I wanted to do more for people like her but I do not know if I am doing some good.

    Hi Justcauz

    Distributed Computing actually does help the medical community and F@H is a worthwile cause http://folding.stanford.edu/FAQ-diseases.html http://folding.stanford.edu/papers.html and they have published papers with the results of the findings. Also this from UDs Grid http://www.grid.org/projects/cancer/about_picture.htm

    Sadly the medical community just doesnt have the computing power to data crunch and that is why these DC projects like F@H and Grid.org got the internet PC community to help the vast task of analyzing protiens and their interactions with diseases, this data and the large number of users devoting their PCs to this reduce the timescale to find any links or cures or potential cures by 100s of years.

    I totally agree with this but my problem is if I do not see credit for what I do, I wonder if what I do is going nowhere.
    My PCs have folded day and night, finishing projects but when they get sent I see that I have gotten no credit so I wonder if they are going to the correct place if anywhere at all.
    If they go into oblivion they do no good for anyone, I would fold for no points if I knew the system is working.
