Alas, my PC laptop is on it's last legs. Two years ago the right-side hinge popped open, and last week the left side went. Today, the fan's whine is louder than I remember it; I did a bit of vacuuming 'round the port, though it didn't seem to help.

And it's been crashing even more randomly this past month.

With Apple's new dual-pM's (& gorgeous 20" display), I won't blow $1000 on a replacement -- like the Dell Inspiron 2650 w/1.8ghz mobile p4 that I seriously considered when the Dell catalog arrived noontime.

I'll still send an occasional packet from it, but I can't keep it running full time anymore. Slowly (but surely) my 500mhz iBook will provide.

Just smack it.

It works!

I hope they don't assign one of those to my G3/400. It took 7 days for the last 20 point work unit. (It would be nice if the power stayed on too.)

Still, we need the points.

yeah i'm on the 4th day of a 20pter...should be done in around 24 hours hopefully...i'd like to get a quick one...just to give me reassurance that i'm doing something..

tell me about it. gawd, like every 2 weeks here all the pcs go down. no automatic restarts like the macs.

i've prob lost a few hundered points to power outages. bane of folding.

i haven't got one off the 73 pointers yet. wonder what system clears benchmark to fold 'em?

Yeah, ain't them new things neat? Maybe I should get that Dell after all, just to get through a few of 'em.

What it means, though, is that they're now getting into some real nasty science, stuff that matters. And it'll probably get worse as time goes on.

Well, I've not been contributing much lately, but I'm going to start up again and I've got a new dual 1.25 to help. Should make a small improvement....
