So not knowing what Folding@home was -

"We are scientists. Citizens. Gamers. Thinkers. Parents. Friends. Family. We've joined forces to donate our unused computer power to help uncover the mysteries of protein folding and fight diseases. We are Folders, and this is our home."

I don't think there will be a high turn out of X1000 owners, but I like the idea. Good luck.

Wasn't the old joke that users of 4.1... update 1... update 2...update 3... etc., that X1000 owners only turned on their machines in order to install updates?  ;)  Maybe this will be a good use of some of that unused CPU power!  I always liked the other one though, SETI@home.  Is that still around?  Maybe more appropriate for this group of nerds.  ;)


LOL that's just about all my Peg gets used for, and the occasional try out of a new game :-)
