Hey..had to check, some people you know

  I know ;)

Actually the one for Boinc is pretty cool WHEN it works. It is a 3-d
spinning, rotating thing. AND it actually acts like a screen saver
now, it moves around the screen, in Classic it always stays in the
same spot!

  I know that too. You can still view the graphics without resorting to the
screen saver by right clicking on a running unit and clicking Show Graphics
:)

  The reason it gives or losing cp.net units is some sort of checksum
error. It only even happens after a version upgrade. I'm 510 hours and 52%
into the current unit, which is a record for me :)
