Evolve or die.

Hopefully there's been a lot of positive BOINC evolution recently!

Hopefully. I can't upload, can't download and have lost about the
last 10 days worth if credit. (Which just happened to be 10 days
when I thought "Damn the electricity bill!" and had BOINC running on
everything I have, 24/7). I'm beginning to seriously wonder about
farming. Might have to shut down a few PCs and go back to just using
'spare cycles' on my main machine, when it's switched on.


I do not wish to intrude or something, but you got me cuirious as to
the hight of your bill. How much is it?


It's not really that the bill is high by most people's standards, (about
$NZ45/week, with no heating) it's more that I'm an invalid living on an
invalid's benefit which just barely covers living expenses. Put it this way:
If you come to visit I can offer you instant coffee but I'm afraid I don't
have biscuits or cake. I do have about seven functional PC's 900Mhz and
faster though that I've mainly put together from parts I got cheap or was
given.
