New team on the block

Not sure where to put this - stuck it here - you'll see why...

Just going through the stats and I noticed team 'Einstein@UWM' has just come into the top 100. Big deal I hear you say but check this out...

They're averageing 250,000/per day exclusively Einstein and the top guy has 649 hosts! Virtually all of them AuthenticAMD Dual Core AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 175's. Looks like he's been gradually bringing them on line since early April. By himself, he's brought in 5 million credits in 4 weeks!

This is what WE need! A corporate guy with access to this many shiny new computers!

Ah these guys http://www.lsc-group.phys.uwm.edu/

Sort of explains it. Now I ask - if they now have access to that many shiny, new computers why should we do their work for them? They now seem perfectly capable of doing it themselves! Rant off! :cussing:
