This is predictable. The closer we come to the top, the harder it will be to climb up.

There are people who started long before we did, but I think we will pass them anyway....

FLOOR IT!

I'm at 1900/5000 on my first WU.

I promise I'll get at least one before my puter dies!!! And, yupper, I turn it to 100% CPU at bed time. Not sure if I should check that other box in the control panel though. Does it speed things up?

fordboy, it matters not the pt value. all WU's count. my junk computers only work through the WU's every 4-5 days. i'd kill to work 1 in 10 hrs. you've kicked ass doing folding, but i beg, don't short any WU you get.

You go through a WU in 4-5 days with a junk computer? ...... that sure don't say a lot about mine then. ROFL. I'm STILL working on my first WU, setting the CPU at 100% whenever I'm not using the puter for anything. Right now I'm at 2650/5000. Am I doing something wrong? And I don't even see a "points", but maybe I just haven't looked close enough.

Closing out a program and just going for points isn't the object. Each WU has it's reason for existence. How would any of us feel, if we canceled a WU and it turned out later to be THE ONE that offered a huge clue and/or the key leading to the right approach to a cure?

I don't have a clue if that's how the WU's work, but ya gotta figure that each one has it's purpose. So, I'd say go for what's handed out and just git-r-done. Of course, we want to be the top team, so we can share even more pride and happiness in what we do, but it isn't a popularity contest as a first goal .. to me, it's research first and standings 2nd.

Please don't take this as a personal attack, because it isn't. Just want to offer a different way to look at it. Now, if I'm wrong in any way here, I stand to be corrected and edjumacated as to the error of my ways.

I'm doing WU on p3040_supervillin-03 . Supervillin... kinda a nifty name. That have anything to do with points? I don't see a points anywhere on the screen display.
