Also, from what it sounds like (and I wished they would get someone
to write the news who was not so ambiguous):

any WU you sent, the data would have been cleared off the computer
that did it - so, the actual work may be lost as well as no-one's
computer retains info on the work done (ie in a back-up), so the bit
about being "resent" sounds false - more like:

"we'll have to make that WU available for download again, so it can be
crunched again and then returned again, by which time, the scheduler
code will be fixed"


Yet another big blow for BOINC.....!

Blast.  I started up BOINC earlier this week, got a good sized cache of WUs
to work on, and still have about 1 day's worth of WUs to crunch.  Oh well
...

Guess I'll let it finish with it's current WUs, and then let Seti Classic do
it's thing for a while.

I'm not mad, just disappointed with BOINC so far.
