OK Finally gave in and joined the Folding @ Home team with my first WU almost done. Hey seems like a good cause with the cost of only a few spare cycles.

Thanks Redfallon.
I may have misspoken though...according to the folding page my first WU is due to end in December sometime or am I reading it wrong?

I think thats just when its due, not when it will be done. I noticed that too on my first WU but it finished way before that. It was due in like January and it finished just the other day..lol.

Great to have you folding for us Carpedebass. And yes, each WU has a "due date", meaning that it must be finished folding and submitted by that time or you get no points for it. Usually this is only an issue for slower CPUs.
