I'm interested in joining, but I have a few questions first.
1) I will be doing this from school, but I know that the IT department has a firewall in place, so can the folding program still work with it on?
2) Is there any virus threat?
3) how do i join?

there should be no firewall problem; only if your school has a really weird firewall. if there is a problem, we can discuss that later.
there isn't any virus problem; at least no one has ever mentioned one. the folks at stanford are pretty careful to make sure something like this doesn't happen. they only allow connections to the servers, and use authentication, so you should be fine.
to join, go to http://folding.stanford.edu
and download the client. just install it, and off you go. remember to configure your client with your user name, and enter team 32721, Gamespot @ Home.[QUOTE="rockfender"]I'm interested in joining, but I have a few questions first.

Pretty sure that's just a queue of what the program is working on, like sometimes you'll have a WU waiting to be uploaded in the queue while another one is working on an in progress WU.
Also depending on the WUs, some take a while and some are small and don't take long to finish...- Please wait. Quick reply will be available shortly.

I have also joined the team, I am currently running my first WU. I am running it on 1.7ghz pentium 4, but I am gonna try to convince my stepmom to put it on her laptop. Also I will try to get some friends to join.
On a more serious note : My father was diagnosed with parkinsons a few years ago. I think it is great to have programs like this. I thank each and every person who is running this program for the help. If you are not yet running this I encourage you PLEASE to join. Lets find the cures. and whip some other teams asses! PEACE
