    What's wrong with Bud? :)

    That has been my dad's nickname all his life. Just be glad you're not Folding as gerblinizcwq3875 or something.

    Besides, "Bud" makes my life as milestone poster easier. The headlines practically write themselves:

    "Bud Bashes..."
    "Bud Befuddles..."

    etc.

    :thumbsup::fold:

    well ...if you change your folding name all of your points accumulated with the new name will go under that name ...and the points you acquired with Bud will stay with Bud.
    Of course ...you will be changing your name to csimon right??? ;D

    well bud ...it's only a name for you to keep track of progress. Now if you were doing prime95 which involves reward money then I can see them getting pissed ...but trying to cure alzhiemers? cancer? mad cow?
    I think you'd probably get a raise with all of the alzhiemers publicity at the moment.

    No seriously ...it's your call - don't do anything you'll regret later.

    No, no, no, no, no. DO NOT SET IT UP WITHOUT PERMISSION. If they found out this could get you fired. They can class this as stealing as you are using their equipment without their permission. No matter how good the cause you should not loose your job over it. Just ask them to see if its ok. I did and look where it got me :thumbsup:

    definitely do not fold on a computer that you do not own without permission. It's illegal, but it's also immoral and we don't sanction it.. If you check with your boss, show him or her the folding videos, and make a solid and intelligent case for it, who knows, you might score big time and find it on ALL your work computers.

    I HIGHLY recommend getting permission from your boss to install it.
