OT Re: ComputerGiving - CamLUG project

Hi,

There's a whole bunch of people for whom Folding at home IS the whole  
point.  These people use it as a hobby and aim to make their team get  
higher in the ranks:

Check out this thread on the Folding forums:

http://foldingforum.org/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=1560

As somebody who really loves messing with homebuilt hardware (and once  
had their home workstation running on a RAID10 * 9 disc array for the  
laugh!) I can't say I really disapprove!

Cheers
Ferg
