**Adam** · Post subject: Posted: Tue Aug 03, 2004 7:30 pm

A couple weeks or less.

BTW, the team is now in the top 50 for crunching! Way to go! Smile

there's a bunch of unused computer labs at my college. i'm tempted to go install this on each and everyone i can. the only problem is they have software on there computer that goes to Restore Point everytime the computer is turned on. i can probably install it on a total of 6 computers here at my house.

Sounds cool. I have an idea and will help you if you need... write a letter to some head honcho at the college asking if you can install the program on the workstations or any computer. Explain it's for a good cause and that it can generate good publicity for the college (ex. newspapers might write that the college is doing it).

hmmm, not bad, i'll look into that

**Adam** · Post subject: Posted: Wed Aug 04, 2004 12:37 am

With most colleges having the latest computer hardware, should be some good crunching. We'd show the other teams who is boss! Smile

Broke 1000. So did Cyrus. Horah!

Cool, congrats! Looks like the team will be moving in to 49th position soon.

PM me with the prize you want.

Two winners so far. I've been working tons lately. I should get the prizes shipped out this week. Smile

There, I finally 1000 units worked on for TSC. Took a long time, since I can only manage about 50 units a day on this laptop, my only node. I need to get my desktop going so I can overclock it and run many many times higher for my units.

Thanks for showing me such a great program to use.

Congrats! PM the info. I have a few to send out. Might as well get them sent. Smile

So i downloaded the thing and joined the team last night, and now my CPU's crunching away, but i was wondering, which number is it that I want to see reach 1000? Cands or Confs?

**Adam** · Post subject: Posted: Sat Sep 11, 2004 6:51 pm

Cands.

Welcome to the team! Smile

So i'm happily crunching away (also serving as excellent burn in program, and a bit more interesting than Prime95).

I've seen you mention stuff about our team being in 50th place, 49th place, where are you getting this info? Is it cuz you're our fearless team leader, or is there a place on the TSC website to check that?
