Well, I'm back on these boards again after leaving my machines in "set and forget" mode for a couple of weeks while my husband was in the hospital for bypass surgery. He's been home for a week now and is doing well -- still weak and tired but improving daily. I felt good knowing that while he was benefitting from medical science, my computers at home were making their little contribution. Sorry to hear your husband needed surgery, but am glad to hear he is doing well. I suppose he is making you wait on him hand and foot.  Cheers

BTW what OS is on it ? ubuntu 11.10 After you have it running for while I would be interested to see how its performance is. Mine currently averages about 17.07 PPH. I am thinking with Linux on it you will do significantly better. Cheers ----------------------------------------

I have some seriously odd parents, they send me Hello Kitty Chocolate Eggs... I think your parents are being a bit subtle. Perhaps they were giving you a hint they wanted some grandchildren to get the eggs.  They probably figure you are old enough to get your own vodka, beer, spirits etc. That way you can get want you want and as much as you can stand.  On another matter, March will go down as the warmest on record. It will be about 58F (14C) today but the weekend will be 70 to 80 F(21to 27C). The previous warmest was in 1910 I think. I am sure the weather guys will tell us in short order. Cheers

kateiacy, I hope a quick and speedy recovery for your hubby!
Got rid of a few very old rigs. I'm glad we have free recycling of hazardous waste in Hennepin county (the amount of taxes we pay in this !@#$ county we should have our lawns mowed for free!) I'm down to 1-i7 950, 1-i7 860 and 1-mac pro (xeon 2 cpu). I have an core 2 duo macbook but the cpu fan went out on it, as soon as my apple care expired.  |

I have an core 2 duo macbook but the cpu fan went out on it, as soon as my apple care expired. I am sure some engineer and statistician got together and figured out just about what was the the life span of some of the components and set their extended warranty period to run out just prior to that. Or conversely they engineered to part to fail after a specified time period 10% longer than their warranty period.  Maybe youw will win the megamilliions and you get a whole fleet of machines. Cheers
