3920th work unit at 00:19:40 UTC and finished on 5th place in my Class of

My class page of August 4, 2001 is down to a whole 25 people.
Guess this is the final snapshot.
I hope they run the pages again without the filter for the last 4 weeks so
we can see EVERYONE in the class and how they did. That would be neat.

(myself included). And I fully agree with you, it would be neat to have a
last look at my reg. class without the "inactive" filter.
Nevertheless... THANKS TO WHOMEVER TOOK THE TIME TO LET THE REG. CLASS
SCRIPT RUN!! :)

Hi Whipple, good to see you!
Things have changed so much around here since the "Classic" days.
(Remember Carolyn's Clinic?)
I do indeed.
It is good to see you still hanging in
there and doing what you can.
Likewise. :-)
Misfit I remember your posts on getting
the most out of your existing system.
Still doing the same thing. I bought an E4500 Core 2 Duo and, with a bit
of
scotch tape and conductive paint, have it running at 2.93GHz instead of
2.2GHz. Other than having a smaller L2 cache my NZ$220 CPU is operating at
the same speed as a NZ$1,500 CPU. (Core 2 Extreme X6800).
Like yourself, I am looking around at my dated equipment and
considering an upgrade soon. I have been using BOINC under Win98 and
WinME and these old systems are slow, but at least they are doing
something with unneeded CPU cycles.
My souped-up system is doing five times the work that my previous best
system, (essentaily) an Athlon XP3200+ at about the same electricity
consumption. It's in fact doing more work than my previous best 6 PCs
combined. Saving electricity, and just maybe, helping to save the planet.
I think the group is very much alive albeit a much smaller, quieter
group.
Great!
My four computer farm is still plugging away as it has since
1999.
Good work! Great to see you still here.
Cheers,

Nobody has ever been able to fully understand newsgroup
propagation. :-)
Indeed. I see two posts from you now, but still don't see the older
ones. <g>
