Well it's my 1st anniversary today of folding.

I joined Short-Media on the 19th to get help with my overheating laptop and caught the folding bug almost straight away.

I never thought I'd get over a million points or be in the top 10 by this stage.

Thanks for all the fun guys - your a great crew and I love being here. :thumbsup:

    WOW! one year and you're in the millionaire club, AND our #1 top producer to boot!

    Thanks for being here with us, Ian.. Through the good times and the bad. Hopefully one day you'll be able to make it to one of the LANs, or (even better) I'll be able to vacation in Oz, cause I'd love to meet you :)

    Thankyou Prime - that's very kind and charming of you to say ... I would love to come to the LAN, but any person is happy to visit me here in Sunny Sydney, especially now I have the new house.

    I have not participated in forums for many years, I use to IRC madly, founded and owned a few channels over the years, I use to participate in numerous usenet groups.

    I have popped into various techie forums around the place to get info, I've then moved on once my problem was solved.

    As others have mentioned there is something bizzarely unique about this forum, the lack of flaming posts, the lack of misunderstandings when people use sarcasm or other humour that does not translate well in text sometimes, the strong personalities that do not come across as arrogant or pushy.

    The addiction to folding and obsessive discussion about it that is totally contagious (look at me I am a freak when it comes to folding)

    The times that people have bared their souls here and discussed personal details in depth with no fear of reprisal - I know of no other forum that seems more like a family that a hap hazzard collection of netizens who stumble in here looking for a fix to some niggly computer problem and then stay.....

    Thank God there is spyware and virus's, otherwise there would be less of Short-Media - I am glad to be here and I mean it whole heartedly.

    thankyou all for making me smile every day

    tcith,
    congrats. Also, thanks from those of us with friends and family who've fought cancer. It's good to see the "Folding Thunder from Down Under" continues to crush WUs.

    I didn't know Cray super computers could be :

    a) Be purchased for private use.
    b) Be used for folding@home.

    How much does Cray cost anyways tcith, what's it like for web browsing, does it run 32bit or 64 bit XP and is your house big enough for it? ;D

    Coz I don't know anyother way you'd be able to get a million points in a year.

    Congratulations on a herculian effort :thumbsup::fold::fold: :smokin:

    A group hug by its very nature is platonic. :cheers:

    True, but I still don't like them, unless it's my family. :shakehead
