(another member of our team) she set her machine up with BOINC
yesterday and still doesn't have any WUs. Lots of 'messages' but no WUs.


And now even the WEBSITE is down.

I'm rapidly running out of WUs on 5 machines.

If I DO run out, I'm quitting (again),
it's too damned frustrating to wait.

I have over 2000 WUs pending already.

It will come right. Give it a few days. 

Then it will have problems frequently....then occasionally....then hardly
ever. 

That's how human systems work. 

First time out, they almost always fail a lot.

Best argument I can think of for avoiding Nuclear power....that and the
risks inherent in war. 

Want to knock out the enemy? Blow up his nuke plants and render huge areas
of his terrotory unusable for thousands of years.
