Going for page 1!


The competition gets rough after you get to page 2! I should have a couple of more borgs turning in points later this week. My boss is letting me borg all the computers at work (all but 3 are already borged)

I have a problem getting my friends to run folding, any help? Almost all my friends have storebought computers with cable, so it should be no problem, they do not want to run it! I am more than happy to try to fix any problems they have, if any. Just wondering if anyone else has had this problem. I have shown them the site, explained that I get no money or anything for adding their computer, but still get resistance! Maybe I need new friends...

Thanks for your time!

I would stress the fact that the program is not spyware, and it won't interfere with normal use. Don't forget to tell them what the research is for, and mention them online in your aim profile or something to make them feel special And even though it isn't as efficient they may be more apt to leave it on if they have the graphical version to watch. see you on page 1!

If you are like me you probably don't charge to fix their computers and you are probably the first one they call if they have a problem. I just usually remind them thats is easier to run a program for me than to have to bring their computer to a repair shop!! hahahahhaha

or

tell them is a nerd way to say thank you.

see you on page one!!
