The term "420" comes from the sixties and a group of Marin county high school students who used to meet at 4:20 PM to get high. I chose the number as an homage to my misspent youth.
And you are correct, I'm way to old to even contemplate 100 million. Though I do have less lofty, more practical goals - 10 million, top 10 all time TPU, top 100 system wide producers, etc.

My guess is that dank1983man wasn't around in the sixties, but he might have heard about the 4:20 thing

I'm also to old to go back to the sixties, heck I can't remember most of what happened..LOL Nasty, got my i7 motherboard (gigabyte ud7) back and it folded for about 5 days and went bad again....Having problems with the memory slots quit working..I also bought a GTX460 to put with it and it put up some impressive numbers for those 5 days. I'm going to get a different one this time and hopefully it will last more than 5 days..:> I ordered an Asus this time around hopefully I will get better results with it...

I was around in the '60 but never heard of this meeting at 4:20 PM to get high. Back then I would cruise the streets with my friends looking for a drunk and give him money for what ever his poison was and a case of Coors for us. It usually didn't take to long to score.
![]() I had the local town marshal stop us once while we were consuming our favorite beverage but all he did was take our beer and send us home. My guess is he drank it himself.

Glad to see you approve of and share my folding goals. You are already #1,399 system wide and # 12 TPU. I look forward to continuing our swapping spots in daily pie. Keep up the good work!

I would like to be top 10 team overall. You would think that would be easy on a smaller team, but nearly all the active members are folding beasts
NH in particular has exploded, esp after picking up that monster Quad GPU rig from BN Its def out the question now with my downsizing but I will continue to fold and maybe the next time I rebuild I can rejoin the race for daily PIE

Texbill is ranked #12 on the TPU team, NH #17, you are #91, and I am #21. Team China is about to overtake us in 24.9days, damn

Your downsizing has allowed me to move up in daily pie from my usual 7th or 8th place. You'll be back. ![]() We do have hefty folding group. According to Free DC, our team daily average is 11,525. Not too shabby.

To tell the truth I would of been happier to see us as in number 200 or even lower on the list. All that proves is that even more people should be folding IMO.

No production from for a bit. MB has to be RMA'd, and no home for my 260 in the meantime.
Will try get my old socket 939 running with a 9600GT. And the fun part is no funds for windows so will have to do a crash course in linux.
