    True, but I am part of the team & a generous chappy by nature so it was easier for me donate what I could rather than get parts shipped from USA. ;)

    You certainly are generous! :thumbsup:

    Hey no apologies needed Prof, we all have real lives to attend to :)

    SM12 has been running with the new parts for a week or two now using a borrowed gig of lurvely Patriot PDP XBLK. I noticed she's crunching alot faster now.Also her new case turned up a couple of days ago so when the ram arrives I'll post some piccies of her rebuild. :)

    I'm afraid that I don't even have that for an excuse. It's pathetic, really... :bawling:

    Sounds like it's all coming together for SM12. :clap:

    Thanks, airbornflght. :)

    As for "not really" being on the team, it's easy enough to fix that. :nudge:

    yeh, but I only have one computer to fold with, and my mom thinks that computers should be turned off when not used, Im trying to fix that. But I still have to problem of having a dumbass motorolla modem, which is a good modem, but the idiot put a "standby" button on it, so when its on standby, no internet, and she is always turning it to standby and I am one step away from opening that damn modem up and ripping that switch out. I dont know why anyone would want one.

    The computer only needs to get on the Internet for a minute or two every couple of days. Part-time Folding beats none at all. :)

    that is how my parents are so i just say that it is running something or im downloading something. they seem to buy it everytime and they dont ask as much now...i only started out with one computer as well but i am slowly requiting people from my family to fold for me...a great to get people to help you out is when you work on their computer just tell them about it and give them a discount then.

    well, my computer is in my room, and theirs is in the living room, I told her it was mine, I paid for it, I bought it, so she needs to leave it alone. She doesnt bother it anymore. but the internet drives me nuts. that litlle oval shaped blue button might disapear in a week or so;)

    i have the same problem with the internet...my dad shuts it off whenever he isnt using it. it is really annoying when my internet randomly gets cut of.

    Superglue it. :cool:

    (I am most definitely KIDDING, btw.)

    Have you spoken with you parents about the issue? Think about it - this could be a real opportunity for you. Get your computer Folding, then tell your parents how proud the rest of us are that you have joined in the cause. Take them over to Stanford's site and show them what you are doing with your computer, then casually mention that you could do even more good if you had a reliable Internet connection.

    You never know... ;)

    Yehh...my mom isnt the most technological person. If you watched me trying to teach her to use the computer. you might start laughing. she knows basic stuff, but for instance. I spent 2 FRIGGIN HOURS teaching her how to use the print dialogue box and how to print to my room over the network. ok, one little simple dialogue box == 2 HOURS. so lets see, to teach her windows, that comes out to be (carry the 2, move the decimal...) 6 Score and 90 Minutes:vimp:

    She doesnt care. You would have to know my [strike]parents[/strike]MOM to get the real picture. She thinks that button gives her power. because she can turn my internet off. But when I give it a dribble drabble of krazy glue, wont she have a nice surprise?:rarr: Ive tried asking her to leave it on before, and it might work for a day or two, then she says that she forgot to leave it on. then it just gets more and more often, pretty soon I dont even bother. So yeh, the button is getting disabled/removed/relocated. I have to decide what I can do with it:werr:

    Actually, Im thinking of moving the button to the back, that way, I can still use the useless button incase the modem borks. because sometimes when we have a power failure or something retarded, the modem will bork. it take like 20 minutes for it to come back. (and yes, its protected.)

    yeh, my mom does that to me, and says "oh, I didnt know you were on." I reply: "leave it on and it wont happen!"

    Trust me, I know what that's like. My parents just could not understand the concept of electronic files systems until I explained it in terms of being a virtual office room with file cabinets, drawers, and folders in the drawers.

    Oh, BTW Airborn, you and you're mom have been immortalized.
