* Alzheimer's Disease
* Cancer
* Huntington's Disease
* Osteogenesis Imperfecta

You just need to download a small program that runs on your computer in the background.

Here is a list the current Work Units and their credit values.
More Team stats: very detailed.

If you have any questions or problems, post in this thread and I or one of the other regulars will help you with your folding."

Comment by Postal Mike on December 28, 2008 at 10:22pm: All my computer's are down while on extended holiday travel. I hope to be in Kingman AZ after New Year's so I'd love to go to Las Vegas for the meetup Jan 10th. Eventually I'll be back in Phoenix and Folding once again. The Nvidia GPU is awesome. (Have a drink).

Also big thanks to Droobles for getting us all connected again on the new board. Awesome.
(Have another)
Also thanks to the awesome Bryn for starting this team.
Did I say awesome ----again?

Comment by Wombat on December 23, 2008 at 9:25pm: Last time I downloaded the latest F@H client I had to remove all traces of the previous version before it would let me successfully install it.

I am using the 6.02 console version for Mac.

Comment by MuyLani on December 23, 2008 at 4:53pm: My iMac at home doesn't work anymore. I updated but when I go to Prefs, it still says the old version number.

Comment by drew domkus on December 18, 2008 at 11:26pm: i have 2 imacs always folding, but yeah, the host and hostess should totally bring it up again.

Comment by Wombat on December 18, 2008 at 9:11pm: Yes Bryn started it all, that's why I made sure I used his post as the main post.

My computer is still chugging along.
I'm not up with the big boys but all contributions are helping the cause.

Comment by Licks on December 18, 2008 at 9:03pm: Even I, hate being mistaken for me! And lets make sure Bryn, get's most of the credit!

Also, we as a team are slacking, (I'm not doing my part either), but a bit of pumping by the host, and hostess wouldn't hurt either!
