The Amish Computer Team has been running since 11/2004.
We haven't been very active in the past, but have been joining challenges lately, and would welcome any new members. We're currently ranked #3,218 by points. However, that's with only 2 active members. Amish Computer Team http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/team/viewTeamInfo.do?teamId=NG5RSMBR9N1 |

I have been happy to see your team participating in some of the same challenges as my tiny team. You have done an amazing amount of crunching.
----------------------------------------Are any of your team members from Iowa? I live not too far from some Amish communities in Iowa.  |

No. I'm not actually Amish. The name is just a joke. I lived in Davenport IA as a child though.

I started keeping track of points, when I started running again recently. Since 4/28/10, I've accumulated 2,914,223 points.
That averages out to 22,077 per day. |

I too had to stop and take a second look as I live in Amish country and know very well that it was highly unlikely lol.

I like the team description -
----------------------------------------"While we plow our fields, our computers sit idle. It's time we in the Amish community put our high powered computers to use!"  |
