I'm new to this, (as you can tell, I signed up different processors with different screenames at first), but I have a question about project sizes.

Is a 5000 frame WU unusual?

It means you have a powerful computer. You'll get a lot of points for that WU.

Nope.

Off the top of my head, the largest I recall seeing has been 13,500, but frames were ticking by every 4 seconds or so. Something like that. I've seen a 250 framer that was taking like 25 minutes a frame(on a high end machine).

The frames don't mean anything, as different projects take different times to run a frame. A better measure of your progress is the number of points you receive. The largest WUs are worth 600 points; the smallest I've seen are worth 46. Your project 2052 is worth 166 points, which is around the upper end in the midrange. Stanford has a table of the point levels for the various projects at this link.

How do you find out information like that?

I'd suggest the most relevant stats for a given computer and WU are points/hour [or day] and then kilowatt hours/day to get to points per kwh. Both of these stats make the junkyard computers I have look bad, but they are good for comparison among WUs and computers.

Help!!!

My electricity went out for about 45 seconds. When I came back on, my folding window was gone. How do I get it back?
