This is a great way to bring awareness to those who are interested in joining TPU's WCG team and for those of us who are already crunching for the fight against cancer. I will do what I can, but it's probably not enough to win anything. That's okay, though.. I am just happy to be doing it.

Hey, something is more than nothing in terms of contributing, which is kind of what I'm thinking too. If we all join in even for these weeks, it'd make a big difference!

Looks like my new PC needs to flex its muscles for a little while. Am I still able to join in to help?

If you're not familiar with the process, make the jump as soon as possible. It took me quite a while this afternoon to figure it all out lol. I'm telling you, I think I had everything not work for me (or maybe I'm slightly slow), but thanks to the great members of the TPU team, i got it ironed out.

Nice. Do you have a link to your thread so I can go over it just in case I run into troubles after going through the set up instructions above.
