I just added my name (puter) to DU'S Folding @ Home

Team, I had it running several years ago, but my 733Gh processor couldn't handle it for some reason.
It is a great cause and really costs just pennies a day ( for me anyway).

Anyhoo, WHAT UP ??

I have two machines at work running it. I literally haven't looked at our scores or rankings for a few years.

Maybe I should join Folding@Home as well.
