The firewall is so locked down that any web traffic with the word boinc in it gets dropped. You can't even google the word boinc. Thats the kind of people I work for.

Our spirits in my group are pretty much crushed.

Congrats Kate.

More power means more money. I didn't realize the amount I spent on my 2 duallys until later. Ouch. Sure cranks out the points though. Got to keep a perspective on crunching. Can run you broke. But I do feel good about the contribution.
Now I just need to figure out how to engage the warp drive in my systems. Scotty, help.

The contribution is what it's all about for sure. I have one friend who just had huge surgery for metastasized bladder cancer, and another who is in hospice care from lung cancer that went to her brain. Crunching for HCC makes me feel as if there's something I can do (besides sending cards and the like). Running the other projects also makes me feel as if I'm "part of the solution" rather than "part of the problem."

I'm hoping to add a new desktop to my tiny farm this winter -- still watching Intel and AMD before deciding what it will be. AMD Trinity is looking like a possibility -- halfway decent CPU and very powerful GPU in a very low-power envelope.
