I kind of like our individual competitions.

I like that too. I wasn't dispariging anyone. I just figured with near on 250 individuals, some of them may band together. I saw EXACTLY that when I was in the RC5 Distributed computing effect 8 years ago.

you all might inspire me to go get a job where I can control a gazillion lab computers.

Mine aren't lab computers. They are workhorses living in hell. Which means they have to get a whole bunch of TLC from me to make sure they survive. I've been in the business for 25 years. I've got my time in, I'm not a silver spooner.

BTW, did you read what abner is running at home?

I must have missed that one. I'm running a machine at home that is my gaming rig. The video card is a 7800GTX. While I considered water cooling for the CPU, I found that the Zalman 7700CNPS 2pound copper brick cools better than many water coolers. Of the first 17 machines I put up, it had folded 16% of the WUs. It rocks :). To date, since I started, it has folded 107 WUs. With 35 machines in, that's still 13%. Not a slouch :).
