No. You don't need to put time into this, just run it and let it be. I check on my crunchers a couple of times a day and if any changes are required, I put them off till I have a free time. Although, I find this type of hobby (if you want to call it that) very addictive and time/money consuming. ID: 1595050 · |

i get paid to find aliens I get paid to break things & goof of at work. Well I don't get paid specifically to goof off, but I goof off while I am getting paid. Also I am a very long way from retirement. In about 30 years I will start thinking about retirement.

Nope, work almost all the time. So much so that people think I don't have a home. I get paid to be here in case they need me. But most of the time it's find something to do besides watch TV. But I have an office here and they let me bring in my own computers and use the electricity and bandwidth. There is a company computer here but I never use it. As a matter of fact, I can't think of any of the guys I rotate with that actually do use it...lol... I keep telling them to remove it but they say they need to have one here, even if it is a junker, that doesn't run. So yeah, lot of free time to play with my computers. ID: 1595074 · |

I'm not retired, and don't actually put much of my time in looking after my crunchers. The crunchers run pretty much unattended apart from checking using the website two of them only "see the light of day" when I open the door to plug a monitor mouse & keyboard in if I think there's a problem, or want to evict the dust bunnies...
