I have noticed that I'm not getting 600 point units any more... they're all in the 40 - 150 range. Perhaps Stanford only had a specific number of high-point work units available -- now we're down to running the 'normal' stuff. I don't know.

Seems like for every 600 pointer, one has to do penance with some 41, 44, 48 & 51 pointers.

A quick review of the project summary page at Stanford shows that there are only three projects left in the 1140 -1150 range (all of the 600 pointers). Seems like it could be that there are fewer left to hand out.

Remember that those projects were awarded ~2x the normal # of points to get people to take them (long time to complete and relatively large HD and RAM requirements).

Fat times in the laundry room are coming to an end.

I'm on my 6th WU. Three have been small, three have been 600 pointers. My graph looks like a yoyo - I fall for the 3 days it takes to put out the 600 pointers.

Interesting stuff.
