Default Any Brief History of OCAU?

I'm looking for a brief few paragraphs (or page), on the founding and early days of OCAU, right up to the present.

Something that would introduce my team (OCF) folders, to your team.

Thanks, and good luck in the CC.

Hi Adak

Our history goes right back to the start of folding, OCAU was and still is very active in folding, and has been since the start of the project. I haven't been around that long in all honesty, and we have lost our original webpage that we had some of the history on, but most of it was transferred over to the wiki.

http://www.overclockers.com.au/wiki/Folding@Home has some interesting details on the challenges early on, (both at the start and end of the page) wiki - Folding Challenges, Incentives and Awards has some more information.
Team 24 Folding Charter and Wall of Remembrance also has why a lot of us fold.

I don't feel qualified to say much on the early history of folding on OCAU, as I wasn't around at that point, but perhaps someone else may be able to.

Best person who knows most about the history of OCAU is Bollocks but he does not appear in the forums much any more. You could try messaging him to see if he is interested or not.
