Well, I installed a new disk drive but not long after installing Mac OS 9.2.1 on it, I got a message that the internal diagnostics had discovered a problem with one of the processors. 😱 I don't see a real problem now but who knows?
Anyway, it's folding again...for now.

I have only done 2 WU's, a gromac and tinker but it says 3...any ideas. Does a tinker count as 2?

Apparently, there was something smaller that you didn't see--or you have a friend. Here's the link to the finished work units: http://vspx27.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/main.py?qtype=userpagedet&username=nusuni&teamnum=3446&prange=0

yes but i have only done 2. I am getting credit for a wu i never did...wtf?
Last night around 1:30 in the morning my p639 was at 98.75%, so i went to bed and woke up at 11:30 pm to find that finished and my next one has started and is at 2%. The p639 finished at around 5 in the morning...i really doubt i finished another wu in just a few hours. Especially since this one is at 3% and it is 12:40 here...it takes roughly 60 mins to do 1%....
So based upon that the p739 must have finished around 10:00 this mroning. For some wierd reason i find it really difficult to beleive my beige g3 did a wu in about 5 hours...i looked at the stats for it and i knowfor a fact it could not have finished it. In my log i saw no evidence that i completed a p739 either...i know i should not be complaining but this is just really really wierd!
Oh well maybe it did finsih it and there was a fart in the folding@home program...i know sometimes it does not record your status on a specific Wu...just a little program fart i guess....oh well

Because we are "the darkside" one of us has to sacrifice himself to be on the magical 666th place 😀
Good luck, happy folding and may the devil be with you!

I finally got my second machine up to OS X and folding, well kinda. We are in the process of migrating our Desktop publishing dept. to OS X and today I finally got "InCrease" successfully installed and working on it's first WU. Then reality hit and I had to boot into OS 9 to finish our production for the day. I wanted to reboot back to OS X and let it go for the weekend but I had to leave early and didn't get a chance to do so. When I got home today I found out that my last WU put me up into the top 500 on the MacRumors team 😀 😀 I'm now crunching a 206 point GROMAC that should really put me up there 😉 😉
What ever it takes, just KEEP ON FOLDING!!! 😎
