I've always had that set at 600 seconds - no more constant
tick, tick, tick of the hard disk as was the case with Classic.

But on the other hand if you forget to close the program or your
system crashes you have lost 10 minutes of work. Although 10 minutes

Compared to a system crash here or at Berkeley that is hardly worth
worrying about. <:-))  For me, it's rare for any of the machines to be
turned off or go down with the exception of those "critical updates"
that require a restart.

Well, every thing is back up here and running *except* the problem
computer.  It's running well on everything except BOINC.  It's
connecting, getting headers for the new WUs. It then tries to
download, but each one fails.  

The other two computers have uploaded about 13 WUs each although they
were some that were out-of-date. They had  downloaded a full batch of
new WUs as of several days ago.
