Hey Biznatch's!

[Haltech]

Which WUs did you select in your profile when you signed up for WCG? i selected all 3 types... Did everyone else?

[[XC] serlv]

Yeah, but mainly Cancer and Proteome (sp?). I chose those two. But since the Proteome one isn't, at this time, sending out WU's, and not all my machines have enough RAM for the Cancer WUs, then I also get some FAAH's ( I have "send me anything, keep me busy' checked ).

i selected cancer, and then checked the box to keep me busy if there is no work for cancer
