Some of us are really "into" Folding, and have built "farms", or have "Borged" machines at work or at school, but although we may be "louder" or "more colorful", it would be wrong to overlook the importance of all the 300, 500, and 700 point per week folders that contribute a darn big chunk of SPCR's weekly output.
Rusty075. I don't know how long Rusty has been folding, but he churns out 500 points per week, like clockwork, to the tune of 33K points.
Let's run a little "thought experiment": 500 points per week times 52 weeks = 26K points = 19th highest total on the team. 500 PPW over a long period of time adds up to a LOT of points.
NeilBlanchard is another "Green folder" contributing 500 PPW, 21K total.
Mormakil plugs along with some relatively antiquated hardware
to the tune of 176 WU's, 7000 points. BTW, I have to say Mormakil, you are one of my heros. You tounted me and encouraged me when I was so far behind you, you never thought I'd catch you, but you also encouraged me when I was building my "farm". You, my friend, are a team player.Some members have been more serious in the past, but continue to fold "part time". WarpedPlatter, Wrah, Fredster, Metaluna, DanOnKeys, powergyoza, PagMaster, riff, jvanleven, Fastman, shunx, wussboy, DaShiv, Mynci, Choy, etal.
It's important to keep in mind that one reason this became a distributed computing project was that the problem was and still is too big for even the most powerful supercomputers on Earth, but throw a few hundred thousand people and their PC's at the problem, over a long period of time, and great things can be accomplished. We fold for something greater than ourselves, greater than our team. Every single WU completed is one more step toward the understanding of Alzheimer's, Mad Cow, Parkinson's, and other deseases which plague mankind.
It's not my place to say, but Thank You to everyone who contributes their time, energy, and resources to the effort. It might all amount to nothing. And then again, it might all amount to something!

. Well, now my production it's base mainly in my 2500 Barton (@2.01GHz) which is 24/7 except when I can't sleep. The other boxen in my house are now ramdomly turn on and gives some WU from time to time, but I'm not turning them on only for F@H. BTW when deadline passes, does stanford gives some points when unit is finally completed?
, my brother is kind of a traitor, but hey he miss it, I was going to buy him some 1.3 Duron or something but not if not giving the points to SPCRs 
(Have I got two threads mixed up? 
I think it may be soon....
