LOL, ok, I wont ask "The goddess" hardware questions. Not so random Image:  |

Sphere is a he, with alot of older PCs P4s mostly 2.6ghz +/-400mhz.
Sphere just ordered a cheap duely and thinking about a quad. To replace Sphere's 2 primary machines which are almost 5 years old now.  Sphere's new duely should be arriving tomorrow!     |

[Edit 8 times, last edit by Sport at Apr 13, 2008 9:26:26 PM] Lol it’s a shame this isn’t a wiki so I can see the revision history.[edit..I love this part!!!] ....most peep's on the net know me as "Sport "... but I'm a Grizzled old man that also answers to "Keith"....Glad to make your aquaintance!!!! Nice to meet ya Sport. I'm Sphere, usualy quiet and in the background.We @ SC take this team serious{no pun intended}...we are all friends and neighbors and share whatever we can for the better good.......looking at these stats...... I see that you do have a history .....weren't you part of "Kev's" ill fated "Le Masque" team???? I may joke about all your edits, but it also clarified your question/concern.A history eh? OK here is a brief one: I joined WCG on the 30th of March. My first device “Date Installed & Registered” @ 03/30/2008 23:56:42. Days later, after skimming and digesting everything of any interest to me on the WCG forums. The question came to me, join a team or not?Then, why not? And last, which team? So many teams to choose from! So I joined that team, a new team with a small number of people and no history to absorb at once. Little did I know about the abundance of drama and history contained within it. I was apart of the team: Dates: 04/05/2008 - 04/08/2008; CPU time: 0:012:12:04:06; Points: 13,279; WUs: 24. I don’t know what happened, there were some posts deleted from the team thread and then the team forums were down. The team looked abandoned so I left, I was the 2nd last to leave. LOL the drama, I really should play WoW again. So I crunched on unteamed 8th-11th, with my 4 highest crunching days to that point. Skimming the forums pondering a new team and came across yours. Which looks like good people, after skimming your thread and team stats; I decided to join. Why do you ask? Well I said this would be brief… so I won’t go into it. Since then I have been here: Dates: 04/12/2008 – Current; CPU time: 0:009:08:00:02; Points: 13,455; WUs: 24. I have a bit less runtime as I have turned off my two PIII machines which were taking ~20hrs/wu. As I am not using the machines, and was merely curious as to their participation efficiency. It was intresting seeing the evolution of your post from wanting to know what my history as if i had hidde it, to more of asking what happened. A subtle difference but once I appreciate. I’m sad to see that my “again Welcome” disappeared thou.  Hope this addresses your concerns… Alas, I hope this wont kill the effervescent mood of this thread  |
