Hello, I am ana3mic and I just recovered my home rig from some *cough* problems, just in time  . Nice to see some of the old guys returning here at our meetings. Please pray for my rig, and let's hope it doesn't go down till the end of this, and then it's off to the repair shop. I'll keep my fingers crossed the next 4 week, hope it works  .

You'd think from a name like Afterburner it would be a fly by, not a drive by.
AB, I'm sorry to have to inform you, but your access to counselling services has been revoked for 24 hours.

Hello Troy.
Would you like to share a story with us today?
It started a few years back. I'd fold a WU here and there to relax - you know, to take the edge off of a stressful day. Before I knew it, I was folding WUs everyday. It got to the point where all I could think about was firin up my rig and folding that next WU. Nothing else in life seemed to be important. When I realized that for years the first thing that crossed my mind when I woke up in the morning was WUs, I thought I might have a problem...

Hello everyone, My name is David and I think I might have a problem. I started folding 9/18/10 when I built my new gaming rig. I have an I7 930 with a GTX 460. I started out slow just doing GPU WU at night, then it was 24/7. Shorty after that I was trying out SMP WU. Soon that wasn't enough, I OC'd my 930 to 3.8 so I could do -bigadv WU.
Last year was a really good year for me, I climbed the rankings quickly and was feeling good. But now my point production has fallen off without -bigadv. Now I find myself struggling just to stay in the top 200 for the team. All I can think about is how I can get that next fix. I can't wait for the Kepler GPU's to come out so I can upgrade. After that I plan on building a new rig for my wife when Ivy Bridge is available.
One day I dream about playing that first game on my gaming rig that is 18 months old. Then I wake up and start folding again.
Ok, so I do have a big problem and I am a FAHaholic.

I PMed everybody at the start. Looking at what they signed up for production, it might still be too soon to tell if they are folding or not.

Well I am folding here. Got my 950 3.8ghz basically will be folding full time. (Currently about 30k points day. Woot. It used to take me two machines to hit 26k a day). And I have an Asus G74SX-XT1 Gaming laptop that will be folding off and on. You guys are lucky I love folding so much. My dedicated gaming rig won't be used for gaming for a month! Lol. Gonna see if I can start hitting 40k points a day.

Yeah, it seams tanners' little trick worked, I waked to my PC restarted with a error message saying it was a BSoD. I'll have to configure my client to start at boot now, just in case.

Hmm. Well at least I make up for a small portion of the points that you guys missed. I just wish it was more :(. I might have to steal the other computers in the household at some point to increase output.

I think I might steal some of my friends' computers for few days. Well not exactly steal them, more like bribe the owners to fold for me with a pack of beers  .

Heard back from our missing folders this morning. Clewer and Jers47 should be spitting out numbers today (and Jers47 already has)!  neoninja68 will be coming online in a few days when he is able to get back to his rig and restart it.  In the meantime, I'm pressing as hard as I can to make up for lost ground.
