Welcome new folders! We have some very unofficial protocols you may not know about.

1. If you have folding questions, please ask. Others are glad to assist.
2.  If you have technical ‘puter skills please share ‘em with other “folders” as we all were beginners at one point. If you have no technical skills don’t let that stop you from opining on a ‘puter problem, it’s never stopped me.
3. If someone passes you on the list, it is OK to snivel about your lack of “folding” power. It is also cool to blame you lack of CPUs on your spouse who watches the budget like a hawk.
4. Borg every computer you can, but always get the owners permission. Borg, borg, borg.
5.  I you have taken out a second mortgage on your house to upgrade your ‘puter, please let us know.
6.  The Freeper folding flux capacitor upgrade is generating impressive point increases.
7.  Use Freepmail to communicate to others how we jimmied the results at Stanford to get extra points. In no case should you discuss the methods in an open forum. If you must, use the code.

Happy to assist.

So far, I've just had my main home Windows XP computer (3.06 GHz, 1.4 GB RAM) on task (I use an Apple iBook for FReeping). It's been purring away 24/7 for about a week now. I may put two more computers on task, after I get back from my trip next Friday.

The only problem I've had is about four instances of the program aborting for some unexplained reason and sending to screen the annoying Windows dialog box asking if I want to send an error report to Bill. I just click "don't send" and reboot the program. The first three instances seemed to follow the completion of a work unit, but I had an incident today in which the program showed me about a third of the way through a work unit after I rebooted.

I'm not enough of a computer nerd to know exactly why this is happening.
