It's good to keep hearing the good news about Win7. Nice to hear that the Dark Lord of Redmond seems to be getting it together with their OS. Took them long enough. Actually, I was reading about their pricing for Win7 the other day. Either they have something up their sleeve or they've "gotten religion" (aside from the money workship that is). Whatever the case, supposedly they have some case where Vista is a free upgrade to Win7 (I think for a very limited time) and then the upgrade is downright cheap. Moving from XP to WIN7 is a full OS install, not an upgrade install. Since the quad is Vista, it's tempting.

DM, I've not baptized a mobo like you but then when I did that sort of self-injury, it was before PCs were typically found in homes. I do recall slicing open a finger once (too long ago to recall the circumstances) and thinking I should get stitches but I had already cleaned the wound and wrapped it rather tightly in bandages. I must have done that fast enough after wounding myself that it had sealed itself up pretty good to where normal bandaging was enough for the rest of the time. That was no big deal though, just uncomfortable. What was worse was the time I removed a small wart myself. It was about a sixteenth of an inch or so in size and right on the end of my nose (go figure). Had had it removed twice by docs but it kept coming back. I managed to walk into something (probably a doorway, sober too). Just could not get it to stop bleeding no matter what I did so I finally pulled out some matches and the old Swiss Army knife and dug out what was there. That actually worked for about 2-2.5 years before a tiny little piece came back. Went to a plastic doc that time. After warning me three times that the shot to numb the nose was going to hurt, really hurt and seriously really hurt (you know how us guys can be), I took the needle in the nose and I think I left hand imprints in his metal table. Didn't flinch but wasn't about to with a needle in the nose. I'd have to say that that shot was worse that digging it out with the knife and cauterizing it with the hot blade tip despite not lasting quite as long pain-wise. You wouldn't think the nose would be so sensitive but that reality probably beats the imagination of getting a shot a good bit to the south of the nose. Guess it's all part of being a guy.

Well, I can tell we're into the heat of the summertime. How's the winter chill down "topside"? Thanks to everyone who can for hanging in there. For the others, here's to cool weather soon!

Happy-Happy-Happy!

Windows 7 and Boinc 6.6.36 are cranking through these wu's. They are the same ones that Vista 64 left off on, too! Just point BOINC to the same directory, and it picked them up and ran with them.
FINALLY got some GPUGRID wu's too. That's what's making me so happy!
I know that credits aren't important, but I sure love it when I get some! LOL
BTW, Milkyway is pretty good with their credits (if they mattered at all). Short wu's and pretty good on the credits.
I like their science, too. We need a map of the milky way in case I ever need to navigate it.

I really like Milkyway too. They sure have been stumbling on the GPU side though. Can't figure out why they started with ATI. Their forum is a flame. Now you have to have 5 credits there before you can post to the Cafe. I think I'll move a couple of cores there.

HOT ... 102F today. I got some of the connections made on "Bloody Mary" thanks to long nose needle nose pliers. I had to suspend all the machines 3:00 PM ... 75C CPUs and 83C GPUs are too hot. Cooling down now.
