Just thought I'd go ahead and post this information for those of us that have old/slow computers we'd like to fold on.
There are two (2) actual deadlines for each wu.
The first deadline is the one posted now for each series of wus. Its the usefull information/reassign deadline. After this date passes the wu will be reassigned to someone else and your folding information will no longer be used.
The second deadline will soon be posted as well, its been put on the too do list, it is the last date that you can send in a wu and still get credit for it even if the information is too old to be used.
And example of the two deadlines is:
Deadline one is 5 days from issue of wu.
Deadline two is 25 days from issue of wu.
So as you can see an old/slow computer could still get you points even if the information was received too late to be used in the project.
Like I said, this information is soon to be placed on the psummary page, but has been actually used for a long time. So fire up those old 100MHz computers and start folding. An extra wu every other week will still add up.
