Hi Issmit, according to folding extreme you have past me, but according to stanford I'm yet again 37 points ahead of you! :D When are you finally going to overtake me properly?
I know, this game of cat and mouse is growing old :) My latest results have only been 41 points each, that's just not good enough!

I need to have my brother bring his computers back on line. He moved, and lost Internet access momentarily. Hopefully, he'll be back soon.

BTW, I see that you changed your avatar. What's the significance of the new one?
 
If you know the card game Magic the Gathering, you'll know what this is. It's a picture of one of the cards that came out a lot of years ago. That was my first expensive card, and guess how it's called.... Phyrexian Dreadnought :eek:

I believe I have that card some place.. I have many old cards. I was big in the game back in 1996 - 2000. We did "new Deck" games every other friday through high school. You build up lots of cards fast that way.. it is funny how some of the older cards are worth lots of money now!
 
Or have dropped in value significantly! I just acquired two relentless assaults, you couldn't get your hands on those in the days. Now they are only 2-3 bucks. But we are getting a bit off topic here!
 
Alright I have completed 10 WU's, i feel tons proud. Plus it gave me a total of 984 points, near 1000. All of this is coming from my iBook :D its going at a 64 point 24 average :eek:

Me?

Never!

:p

Well more on topic, I recently reached 20k WU's completed.. I am not posting on here (macrumors) as much anymroe as I have been working on many projects. I am however still trying to keep my fleet going, and still take time to do the proper reboots and connection repairs that my B&W G3 needs from time to time.

One of my G4's is goign off to a friends house for extended loan. I told him that if he wants to use it, he needs to keep it on 24/7 and have it continue to fold!!

Good to hear, i would not like it if you lost a machine, well i don't like it when anyone loses machines!
 
Congratulations Issmit! You have finally beaten me, twice... You have overtaken me and made a run for it to the 100K. Only 54 more points. But watch your back... I'll be back, back to kick your &*%#$@ (censored!! :D)
 
We are doing really well in the past couple days, if we can keep this increase in points up i will be very happy! Keep it up guys!
 
my firend said she her iBook is running slow, and she might give it to me. SHe mom said maybe. Depending what apple says. Its a 1ghz G4 ibook. DO not even know the screen size. I'm happy, a today( aday after this ibook thing) i found out my kitty died. THat makes my week one of the crapest weeks ever. Up in the top ten of my crapest weeks. i would give up this iBook deal for my kitty. Becuz ,my kitty is worth a million ibooks secound, plus some. The love is worth more then any material in this world. I love my kitty, i love her

Woohoo - hit my 100th WU during the night!

Feels good to be on that side of the fence!

:)
 
WOOHOO

Dreadnought said:
Issmit, WTF :eek: You already passed 100K points :mad:
Yes. Yes, I did. That, and $1.75 will get me a cup of coffee. :rolleyes:

But, it's for a good cause, not about competing and trying to beat others.

Yeah, right :D

Now I'm shooting for top 1% of all folders. Right now, I'm only in the top 1.007%.
 
Dreadnought,
By the way, I googled "Magic the Gathering Dreadnought," and here's what I found:

Hi Atszyman,

you are getting a bit close here, only 12 more days before you overtake me, I didn't thought it was gonna happen this year.. But the battle isn't over yet! So catch me if you can, you p*mp**s *ss :D

greetz Dreadnought, wait, make that Sir Dreadnought, now that I have reached the 100K :D
 
Note to others.. remember to "resume" your work after you pause it for whatever reason.

My G5 sat idle for 2 days for no good reason.. Nothing to brag about here :(

Another note: if you are using the script from mc68k, only pause it by typing "pause" and resume it by typing "resume"! Don't use stop or start commands!!

All bow for the magnificant Sir Dreadnought! :D
I'm getting to be a bit of a p*mpous *ss, just like atszyman. If only I also had his production....

I bow to no one... except my wife, but she deserves it for putting up with me.

You can have my production, all you need to do is change your user name to atszyman, and viola. You will even be doing better than my current production...:D

Hopefully I will get a nice little boost in the next couple of months or so when I upgrade my PC at home. I've lost my 1.2 GHz AMD due to hardware issues.

10 days...
