[geeks] Holy FAST batman!!!

[Chris Byrne]

Okay guys, we need to get more people on our team here. Were at 396 and
climbing fast.

I figure if we can get even a tenth of the computing power on this list
going on it we can hit the top 25 at least. 

Of course I don't seem to be helping much. There must be something wrong
with my setup. Ive had two machines (both p3 700s) doing nothing but
distrib folding for three days now and ive generated a TOTAL of 100
structures or so. Something is wrong here.
