I'll be so happy when Classic shuts down... if nothing else, just to be rid
of all the whiners and lewsers that can't get BOINC to run. It is soo
simple... why does anyone have problems with this software?? Maybe it's
because their 8 year-olds are smarter than themselves.
Peace & quiet begins December 15th... just be patient... they'll be gone
soon!

I don't have many WUs completed, just about 2,500 in the past couple years
or so. But I tried BOINC a few times and OMG it's horrible. Many have
said
this and many have replied saying these people don't like change or
something. But I had all kinds of problems, from it running when it's not
suppose to (I want screensaver only), to not running at screensaver time.
I'm a software designer myself so I should understand software, but man,
this looks like a product of some government agency gone awry. You know
how
people say if the government was a company, they'd go out of business?
Well
in my opinion BOINC is very similar.
Software is suppose to be easy to use, not difficult like BOINC. I
understand the want to have a more open arcitecture, but it seems when
things get too open, things get way too complicated. Or maybe this is
just
BOINC, I dunno.
I know I'll get flamed for this, but there's no way anyone will convince
me
otherwise. I gave it a shot, twice. I'll find something else for my
computer to do while it's "idle".
C YA!
