Cutting Back On Folding Machines

In an effort to conserve energy (and $$$), I'm going to be cutting back on most of my folding "operation". I currently 16 CPU's working and will be trimming it back to ~5, so my PPD is going to take a big hit.

F@H is a great cause, but being more energy efficient is also a great cause, so I just see this as moving my efforts from one to the other.

Understandable, but a bummer nonetheless. Plus, you're so close to the Big Million...

You could look at it from the energy standpoint that all the heat your boxen are producing simply reduces the amount of energy and money you spend on heating your home!

There. I'm glad we settled that... hehe


Whatever you decide, you know we appreciate all of your past, present, and future contributions.
