Just not had a good last six months in connection with computers. Two Towers fail mysteriously, 1 laptop goes incredibly flakey and keeps turning off without warning and the other has a blown power supply. The tower I am on at the moment won't run anything else if boinc is running, but as it was a gift to get the kids back on the net I can't complain. But on the bright side I have a new job (which keeps me off the net as much). And on the 21 1.08 I became the proud father of twins Tyler and Isobel. :D

Congratulations on the birth of your twins  :D  
One of my rigs is always crashing with blue screens, despite having 2 new hard drives being installed, so I know how you feel!

Regards, Rick.

Congratulations on the Twins and the Job.

I'll bet the Twins keep you too busy to bother too much with the net for the next few months.

Hi Vic,

That's great news.....hope you're wife/partner and the twins are in good health - guess you'll be having more on your mind for the next 16+ years !!

So, let's see......you can buy them a nice quad core CPU for their 1st birthday pressie.....by then the prices would have come down quite a bit.

Then by their 5th b'day, you can get them a nice new octo core.

And by their 10th, I'm sure you'll be able to afford one of the new sedecim (16) core CPU's.

And for their 16th, how about a nice octoginta (80) core?

Better start saving now !!

regards

Tim

PS I hope they will be duly educated about BOINC and registered members of UBT by their 1st b'day :-)
