Hey guys,

Just wanted to let you know that I have joined the Folding@Home TeAm. I'm also heavily involved in the SETI@Home project.

Both projects are currently running on my AMD 1700XP with 512MB DDR. :)

Glad to support the TeAm!

Hey, glad to hear you decided to join Team AnandTech Folding@Home. It's also nice to see that you participate in TA SETI! :D

FYI, you will appear in the F@H stats as soon as your client finishes and submits its first work unit. :)

Nice to see you picked a worthwhile project instead of that finding alien BS (although I do see you are still running it). :D

Hehe, I don't consider it BS. As a life science student I'm very hopeful that intelligent life could form on another world. I'm also a big sci-fi fan, which doesn't hurt :)

As for joining Folding@Home, my main reason is that I'll be pursuing a degree at the University of Toronto in Genetics & Biotechnology. I'm really interested in the potential that recent breakthroughs in genetics hope to yield.

Now, please... :frown:

I don't think there are aliens (and don't run S@H at this time, but I did in the past and would again if I had more computers), but it is very not nice to insult other projects (plus, consider that SETI has more uses than just finding aliens).

Over all, that is what I like about Team AnandTech the most: that even though we come from many different countries, have different religious (or non) and political beliefs, and run different projects, we can still be considerate of the others and get along. :)

Welcome to the TeAm F@H! Our mini TeAm runs several TeAm projects as well and it is nice to see other members branching out!
:D
