I have copied this from em-dc.com:

I noticed the Distributed Computing project is going to shut down. This is part of the message on their site. Go here to read the whole thing.

"We have decided to bring the Distributed Folding Project to an end upon reaching the 10 billion target on the current protein or on October 1, 2004, whichever comes last. We truly hope that our loyal user community keeps checking back for future distributed projects, as we certainly intend to return with newer and better ideas."

However when I click on the link - which goes to the below I see nothing about them shutting down folding.

http://www.blueprint.org/proteinfold...fold_news.html

Does anyone know any further about this - not gonna bother setting up a bunch of new rigs with that kinda time frame..........
