People didn't really flip out, they just sort of looked at it funny. You have to remember that this was a time when an engineer had to figure something out they would push away from their computer and use a slide rule to do the calculations. They still did that for several years after that until they could be convinced that the computer was as accurate.

Old habits were hard to break.

A friend of mine from Iran said that he was in charge of a punch card system for their federal government, back when they were pro-western. The guy is like 60 now.

I need to OC my i7 for more output... will my Mugen2 be good enough cooling?

Are they down, or just not able to connect to the net to return results?

If you are asking me too I had an overnight LAN and didn't turn them on with Boinc until I woke up just now. Would have made the apartment too warm over night with 12 guys in an apartment.

I know what you mean. I lift weights but there is still a bit of fat on my abs. I think I need more cardio and crunching for TPU.

It was donated by a member a few weeks ago. I have some of the parts still here along with what I replaced that will be donated for the TPU & F@H contest. So that's how I got it.

Love your siggy bro

CP have you considered getting some Nvidia cards (something like 9600GSO or 9800GT/GTX) in the crunching rigs and folding for TPU also? TPU could really use the help defeating the HWC in the folding battle(HWC is doing pretty damn good)
