I am running the Chicago Marathon tomorrow as a charity runner for the American Cancer Society! This is a great fund raiser and I will be there with about 50,000 other runners. I hope to recruit a few for R@H!

I am up to almost 2.2M credits with BOINC and 99% of them are with R@H! This is a great project and the research should yield some insight even if protein folding is not the complete answer.

With 2 children starting private school, I will be limited in my ability to add systems to my farm and my stats are down because most of my systems will be down for a couple of weeks. When we return from Chicago, I will get all of the systems up again and I would like to get back to over clocking my second Q6600 as it is running stock and that is very slow.

Wish me luck with this run.

Thanks to all of you for the help. My sister-in-law is killing cancer right now and I look forward to the day when cancer is a disease of the past.

Thx!

Paul

Thank you.

I completed the 26.2 mile course in 5 hours 11 min. It was a good day for a run and a great day to raise $2K for the American Cancer Society.

Keep crunching R@H.
Thx!

Paul
