Every November-December I think about making a meager donation to a different charity. This year, I was considering a financial charitable donation to Folding@Home when it occurred to me that I could make an informational charitable contribution to all of humanity by increasing my Folding@Home results (which will advance medical discoveries along with associated pharmaceutical treatments). All I needed to do is to purchase a few high-power ATI video cards on eBay then switch over to the GPU-based clients.
So, world, here is my charitable gift to you. Season's Greetings!

On behalf of the entire folding community, thank you.
I suggest that you also look for a PS3. You'll be able to use it to watch blue-ray movies, to play games if that appeals to you (or your kids), but most importantly, it will make an important contribution to FAH when you're not using it. It's a bit of a power-hog, though, so you'd better figure that into your contribution, and will help as a (small) electric heater on cold nights.
