Well, unfortunately I had to shut down my laptop and the following 2 Beta's abended (with a 'computing error') upon restart;

BETA_BETA30_9800028_0011_5 - 1d, 23:24:41 (1d 15:05:01) 72.190% and 18:15 estimated remaining
BETA_BETA30_9800030_0941_2 - 2d, 16:35:53 (2d 05:29:26) 72.240% and 1d 00:49:24 estimated remaining

A bit frustrating - but, hey ho - that's all part of being in the Beta project.

For the following 2 Beta WUs, they're running on my 'slowest' machine, the one I'd attempted to 'take out' of the Beta program whilst I was away on holiday. I'll be returning late tomorrow night, so I'll be able to provide an update on their progress (assuming they've not completed by then). Thus, there's 'still hope'.

BETA_BETA30_9800030_0677_3

Edit: Well, EVENTUALLY, my last Beta WU FINALLY finished - way, way WAY PAST it's deadline (thankfully, the validators are currently off, otherwise it'd have gone the way of the other "not now usable"), so, here it is....

Yes, some 11 days 8 hrs of elapsed time (as I said, it's my slowest computer - one that I wouldn't normally run these 'biggies" on).
