I also lost a lot of steam cause I was moving(my computer was packed away for the last week and 1/2)
I was also off from work and both my computers here were shut down. So the only one running was a PIII-550. I'm gonna have to try hard to catch up now!!!
Congrats on movin up, Guyver and Maggi!!
And Happy B-Day sometime soon Maggi (can't remember the exact date, but I think we were supposed to have a party somewhere... LOL!)
I know what it's like to lose steam.. I wasn't running it on my home system for about 3 weeks.
Now I've got it running on my home PIII450@600, my work PIII600@672, ahem, a couple of K6-2 350 running SCO, and a quad Pentium Pro 200 running SCO. That's all the systems... The PPro is only run over weekends.
I will probably be passed again in the near future, but the view is nice here. Can't wait to see what it looks like from 6 or higher....

Just do what I did, buy something for home use, be disapointed in it's performance then take it to work and use it there...
Let's face it, almost anything you work with at home (if you are a sick -<read as speed crazed>- individual such as myself ) is going to be more powerful than anything anyone works with at work. In my case I've got around 300Mhz to spare before the 2nd place machine at work. That includes all the servers.

A few days a ago I managed to climb to #5.
Today I'm wondering if I'll stay in the TOP10
Oh well, can't say it's lonely at this top.
There's more action and movement around here,
than a sex addicts convention with free samples of Viagra ;-O
HMMM, maybe my daughter needs a computer,
how about my mother?
let's see anyone else?
Maybe some eMachines,
they're almost cheaper than some memory upgrades!
Oh well have fun
and keep us (MU) on the move ever higher on the TOP100
We'll have them women beat up soon.

I was 3rd at the best but got tired of managing all the machines (6) that I had and I'm now running it at only one..
Well.. I also got some feedback for using those machines since they weren't mine..
Since I'm the SA for the company - I don't think anyones gonna say anything... The executable is disguised as one that normally runs on the system. Nobody has yet asked why 1 of the 4 processors is constantly in use over the weekends ... (keyword YET)...
Only 11 to go for 6th, 14 to go for 4th...

After these last few insights, I'm starting to feel like the turtle racing your hares. No great leaps, bursts, and surges here, just "slow" and steady execution
