I do it because I have a genetic disorder.  It may not help me but I 
hope the folding that I do will help someone.  This is the home page:

Yea, but this thing is caching a lot of data.  It seems a little more 
responsive and some programs load a lot faster, the second time of 
course.  The first time it needs to load anyway.

I got some old VHS tapes of movies.  I would like to transfer them to 
DVD.  Some of my VHS tapes are really old and they don't do real good 
any more.  Also, my VCR is not feeling well either.  It has two decks 
but one of them doesn't rewind much anymore.  Still plays but figure 
that will go out next.
