or handheld pc as you will, i was thinking would it be possible to do, not that i own one but my dad does!so would it be posible to fold on it. it would be very cool if you cool. when your done working on the work unit hook it up to the computer and send it off.well just something to think about
 
Hmmm...interesting concept. I wonder if I can get my Speak and Spell to fold....hmmmmm 9-) I don't think it would be possible. Granted PDA's are getting faster and everything but you would have to keep it plugged up all the time because it would run the batteries down in no time flat. And on top of that, I don't know if the processor would be fast enough to finish the WU on time. But I could be wrong on that, I'm just guessing.
 
It might be possible, but like I said before, it would have to be plugged in all the time. Also, the architecture is different for a PDA processor than it is for a PC or Mac. Who knows it if it would work though. I don't even really know what I'm saying since this sinus medicine has got me floating and fuzzy.

Roadwarrior did the calcs on the speak and spell here
 
I know. I still think it's funny. HAHAHA One of the subteams on the MSU team created an MP3 that has that in it. I'll let you listen to it. *begins laughing* This is too funny. Click here to listen to it. By the way, the name of their subteam is Robot_House. You'll understand when you listen. HAHA
 
Hehe, this would be kinda cool. Too bad it's probably not
likely to happen. I have an IPAQ 5455 400Mhz processor
overclocked to 500Mhz (no joke). And when it sits in it's cradle,
it mostly just shows my custom Matrix Screen saver. I'd Fold with
it for sure!
 
what about running a Genome on it , they have no time limits on them so if it takes 2 months , who cares it is still folding

just a thought

I can understand it somewhat...it's pretty funny, though. I'm dedicated to the addiction of the dedication. :D
