Ok, leave us call and end to the decent, anger, angst and mindless childish bickering and lets do it today.
There is an absolute need for two teams. Yes, a guy or gal with a very old box can turn out one, maybe two work units per month folding, but the cost of those points power wise makes absolutely no sense.
I dont know about all of you and dont for a moment pretend to think I do, but my own personal situation is such that I am limited to only a few machines and I built them to fold. As previously stated, Folding is my thing.
Now, as I look over the voting it is clear that nothing is very clear at all. So, lets make this simple and painless.
Folders, I ask you, please continue to fold, its your gear and your choice and quite honestly Folding is and has been the core of our DC projects.
UD folk, it appears after much testing on older machines of mine that by going with WCG you too will be not only productive but now you will have a choice of four projects that will allow you to tailor one or all your machines as YOU see fit and all production results remains in the public domain. The client is an easy change over and should fit your needs perfectly.
Folders, those of you who would like to switch to WCG that is of course entirely up to you.
Either way I dont see this as coming out as anything but a win win for the whole team.
King is confident he can bring the various projects of WCG into the stats although with the different projects the recode will take a bit of time.
I too was sad to see UD go away, so many of you had so much involvement in the project and nobody likes to think their work was for naught. In your case it wasnt, the project simply ended. I dont see that happening with WCG as too much big name money is behind it lending support.
My overall intent here is NOT to tell you want to do, so dont take it that way, please.
I feel strongly this is at least a place to start, or better yet, restart.
Thanks for taking the time to read my thoughts and let us get out act together like the adults we are.
Thanks,
Bill
