I had a hard drive die on machine 6814791. So they will slowly time out. Sorry about that. [/quote] Old James |

As I was about to put my backup rig to sleep at the end of this month the drive that I have my SETI@home folders on in my main rig is deciding to go AWOL so it's the 1 offline now. :-( Hopefully I'll get the time to replace it on the weekend, but then again things may pop up here that'll make that job take longer (C.W.#1 being the main thing). ;-) Cheers. |

Cheers. |
