I see Scott took time off from his DirecTV install and has the News on the front page about our Team reaching the 1,000,000 mark.
Glad to see you're on-board now, Van. Like SatinKzo implied, PCs work best when they're threatened. Of course, the corollary to that is also true: PCs die just before you can install the new system that replaces it. And about that missing WU; remember, Scott got credit for it.
I like the competition of people trying to catch up. More science being done! But really, in terms of WUs completed, SatinKzo and his Folding Platoon has completed over 300 Work Units. I'm 10th based on those terms. My Mac gets done with one WU every 16 hours on average, and the HP finishes one every three days or so. Unless I get my own Folding Army, I don't see that changing.
One thing I worry about is people getting tired of Folding. You can see it in those teams that started after us, moved past us Folding at 30-70K ppd, and now we've passed them again as their membership dropped out. Check out
PS Forum EU, who we're predicted to pass in a month, and look how their production peaked in late April/Early May, and now is about 80% of that rate. Other teams have folded (sorry
) even worse;
Insomniac Games dropped to almost 60%,
PS3 - Clan Nexus by half (see graph).
I hope SatelliteGuys.US is one of those teams in it for the long haul. I can't wait for us to break 10,000,000 points!
