Mine runs 24/7, granted it is now a G4 500 (i know slow G4 upgrade) and can process much faster then it's original G3 350.
Got a tip for us?

I know it is nothing much but i (macman64) just passed the 1000 point milestone!
I also noticed we are pulling out of the tinker storm good job. I however am getting nothing but tinkers.

90,000 is a much rounder numbermc68k said:
Unfortunately, I will give my dual a 10 days rest. I'm going on holiday to Spain. Soooo, atszyman, here's your chance to overtake me, use it, or suffer the consequenses! I'll be back!!
First off I would like to extend congratulations to everyone who has been posting milestones in this thread. Your efforts are greatly appreciated.
Second, I'm happy to see that this thread has managed to stay alive and do what I had hoped it would do. I figured we needed a good place to pat ourselves on the back from time to time and get a few friendly rivalries going for incentive (and hopefully attract new folders when they see how much fun we're having).
Now, back to the general taunting of Dreadnought...
Well I'm currently 91 days behind you (subject to fluctuation every 3 hours or so) so I think you are safe for the 10 days but watch out when you get back, I might even be able to see you on the overtake screen without scrolling (15" PB screen size). I've also got a fun weekend of hardware juggling and software installs so I'll be losing 2 of my machines for part of the weekend, luckily they are my two slowest.
Well I've finally broken 50k and after tomorrow nights final I can start folding by pencil and paper. I figure I should get my first WU done right about when Longhorn is released so watch out Dreadnought.

LOL!! I'll be watching your progres from Spain. And if you get to close, I'll fly back home to start up my machine! Bring it on!atszyman said:Well I've finally broken 50k and after tomorrow nights final I can start folding by pencil and paper.

I have the same problem at work. There is no way that folding gets through our firewall. I tried everything, even had the IT department look at it, but they couldn't find anything weird. Folding can't get to the distribution computers @ Stanford or send a finished WU back. Furthermore, When I send a fresh WU from home to work through email, our email server denies the email. Says it's some kind of virus.
Top 100,000
Woohoo - My iMac (the best computer in my fleet) broke through into the top 100,000 folders! I'm feeling so elite!
And on an even better note, I convinced our tech gang to upgrade the 4 (out of 5) Macs in our client lab that are still on OS9 to Tiger. Double the processing power all in my hands.
But, I've been naming all of the computers based on what they are. And all 4 of these are Graphite G4's. That could be confusing.
I guess I can do like I did with our fish at work. I've named them all "Fluffy".

I only have my Albook folding (24/7) and have been hanging out around 270 - 280 for a looooooong time. I just noticed a new folder to the team, welcome and congratulations to mgoodman and his farm of 22 machines folding away for team MacRumors. He is due to pass me in about 2 days. Man, am I ever jealous. He's only like 20 places back.

He started the Day AFTER I started folding, we turned 1000 the same week, but he quickly added 10 more computers to his fleet..
I am sitting at Position 538 with my little fleet. I think my G4 Dual 533 may actually get it's first two work units done some time in the next few days.. it is my slowest folding computer, even being passed up by my Single G4 500 which has 4 WU's done to the Dual 533's "0"
I am bidding on a Dual 867 Processor Upgrade for my Dual 533, so I hope my numbers may go up a little more
best to pick some random theme. at past places, i've used kinds of cheeses, names of spices, planets and moons, et. al.jsalzer said:
otherwise, it's a trap. at one of my clients, one of their oldest machines, which i eventually renamed, was called "New HP".
I must say I really am enjoying the end of the Tinker Storm. Had a record day of over 1500 points yesterday and have already hit over 500 points today. Looks as though the team may start to pull out of our slump.
Now we just need to get all of the new switchers to start folding and we might get back into the top 20.

grrrr, My mac is out, I´m on holiday and everyone is catching up to me because we don´t have a tinker storm anymore....
Just letting you guys know i will probably be celebrating tomorrow
- i'll be getting + 20.000 points
- i'll be entering the top 200
jeej!
Now tinkers, go to mgoodman's machines, make them work hard for little points. Make him suffer. I've been feeling his warm breath down my neck for long enough now.
but i'll still be celebrating
