Congrats - I make it 20,877 - you be smokin' - a real joy watching you and Chris rocket north.

I'm on my way!

Heads-up houeto. I'm on your 6 and building steam.

It was depressing to drop from the top 20 down to an average of 170 - got some systems back on line a few days ago - and it's still going to rain more - and they started to kick in yesterday - popped from an avg of 170 yesterday AM and about to be over-run ... to 249 and some breathing room.

I think I can hold abner off - and bounce him out of the top 20 - if my duct tape and bailing wire holds together.

6 more days to go on a Tinker for 241 pts. Geeese. And I 'm sure I'm not the only one - but 2 in a row - back to back? Groan ... ah well - weeds out the weak sisters (DU? Heh- heh)

Folding-ON! Gotta find more systems! ":^) Gotta find more volunteers!

6 days for a Tinker? Is that one of your slower machines? Is it a Pentium, if so rhat specs?

I've got a Tinker project 1162 about to finish that downloaded yesterday morning. That works out to nearly 175 pts/day. That's about as good of a points per day as I get.

The machine the problems is running on (AMD 64, 2 ghz) is pretty good, but not top of the line for sure. I have read that Tinker runs better on an AMD, but I haven't seen figures to back it up.

The 2106 problems are the ones I dread, I get less than half the points per day as I will get for the Tinker above.

lol, I believe abner is a lady.

Tomorrow might be my greatest day of folding, ever! I am using Egon's tool to monitor, and it looks like 6 of my 7 CPUs are scheduled to come into port! That last batch of 2106 and 2107's really hurt production.

The "rocketing north" gets a lot tougher as you get into the top 30.
