I am 350 of 500 frames away from my first WU on my main rig and 83% from another on my laptop… soon to feature on the team score board!!! ☀ My only problem is that if I want to continue folding, I will commit my main rig to Windows as I have to keep it available for the squatters… :mad: So, I think I might have to go down to folding with my laptop only… ☹ Sorry guys… ---

My rig is dual booting. Where I insist on using Linux only, the squatters only want to use Windows. So every time the young squatter comes home and has homework, he will reboot into windows, thus stopping my folding. Yes I could start again, folding on windows but then after an hour or two when they have finished using windows, I want to get back into linux. But to be honest that’s not a problem… And before you ask, no, I cannot seem to get through to them… they will not use Linux. More 'I told you so’s for me… so there is an up… 😉 ---
