Re: Folding@Home

@Womble, here is an article that goes into detail about "sneakernetting", it also explains how to set up some shortcuts to make sending and recieving new WUs as painless as possible

http://fahwiki.net/index.php/Sneakernetting

"The fundamental problem to be solved is How to process FAH WUs on non-internet-connected computers. (This is affectionately called sneakernet, meaning that the data is moved between computers by the person wearing shoes.)"

the article says to only use deadlineless WU's, but you should be fine with regular WUs as long as you don't forget to transfer them
