Yes, welcome back Kjetil!
----------------------------------------Jack, hope the crown procedure went well! Good indeed to have insurance for such things! I've been to a neighbour town today, looking at a new car (a Saab 9-3 SportCombi 1.9TTiD). It was all right. I really love the low noise at high-way speeds, because i can't stand that more of a higher-pitched noise from an under-dimensioned engine or road noise from the wheels if the rims are large and/or the car has crappy insulation. Some people get desensitized after a while in noisy cars and stop being bothered after driving for a while - I, for one, do not! I believe I have some sensory overstimulation since I tend to perceive sounds, smells and tastes/food consistency in a very strange way. Food with the "wrong" consistency or taste quickly give a qualming reaction. Not fun at all, has given me problems all of my life! :( In the same way I easily get very tired/headaches when driving on highway in noisy cars. In the same way I cannot concentrate on work if i am listening to music at the same time (some variation in type of music of course, but generally speaking). Therefore I really like the level of comfort in Saab cars. Never had one before, but since they are now going out of business there are a few left with greatly reduced prices. Still, they are expensive and now, having visited lots of car dealers and trying out lots of cars I am just too tired to go on like that anymore...and for each day I become more and more convinced of the fact that all car dealers are malevolent :) No, but seriously - this whole car thing is driving me nuts! Trying to sell my old car as well and I can feel all my energy draining from mind and soul. Changing car is tougher than I imagined... ![]() Join The International Team: https://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/team/viewTeamInfo.do?teamId=CK9RP1BKX1 AMD TR2990WX @ PBO, 64GB Quad 3200MHz 14-17-17-17-1T, RX6900XT @ Stock AMD 3800X @ PBO AMD 2700X @ 4GHz |

Flodisar,
----------------------------------------I HEAR you totally about cars. I have come to a point, where every month or so start to look at what is new what is out... This way when I finally decide it's time for new, it's not so overwhelming. Speaking of overwhelming, my I7 3770k is FINALLY running. I had to unplug the HD completely, then install windows to the SSD. I'm doing 120 windows updates, then I'll get WCG up and running. I had paused the old I7 930, because i was going to use that, changed my mind so lost a day of crunching... Tonight I SHOULD have all 4 comps running smoothly. I wish WCG would go to a points based system instead of runtime though... ![]() |

Well, sort of only...in practice. But I shouldn't complain. Learning new and fun stuff, and by the way it is horrible weather outside anyway. Starting to feel a bit tired actually, perhaps I will watch a movie or something soon. Good to have you back for good, Kjetil ;) ![]() Join The International Team: https://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/team/viewTeamInfo.do?teamId=CK9RP1BKX1 AMD TR2990WX @ PBO, 64GB Quad 3200MHz 14-17-17-17-1T, RX6900XT @ Stock AMD 3800X @ PBO AMD 2700X @ 4GHz |

Good morning gang.
----------------------------------------I don't get online much anymore although I do continue to crunch away. Just wanted to pop in and say "HI" to everyone. I'm getting married in a few months, but I'll still be crunching as much as ever. Hope y'all have a great day. ![]()
