Hi, Team EvC folks...I'll be signing up my home PC this week after I upgrade--as some of you know, merely chatting is enough to blow me out of the water right now.
Also, I hope to add my employers network (which I admin ) to the cause in the coming weeks. Now, if I can just hack my way into the university via my wife's faculty account...

Yup, I'm in with a first home box. Hope to add several in the office this week, and over the coming weeks will be adding FrankenPuters here at home.
Down with disease! Go Team!

Okay, first office device added; I'll try to set up one more office box today...
I have my eye on a new high-end XP box that sits idle 95% of the time (when not crunching 24-hour EKG recordings)--just have to add it to the DSL-linked network. My goal is 10 boxes in total by the end of the year...

Well, so far RAZD I've only got a couple of s l o w boxes hooked up. But I do believe I can get a few hares and a bunch more tortoises in harness in the office within the next few weeks, and I've got the parts to cobble together a four-box network of FrankenPuters here at home over the holidays.
I'd happily sign them up as anyone's, really...I just couldn't resist tweakin' Ringo a bit: I loved that old song when I was a kid... And like Ringo, I can't resist the opportunity to do good doing nothing: at work, I can even do it on somebody else's hardware and power bill--the corporate landlord's, as it turns out, since my employers pay flat rent without utilities--and that pushes all my buttons, do-gooder Scout and white trash bad boy alike.

They need to make USB ram sticks .... I have a friend who swears that forcing the Windows swap file to a 1 GB USB stick worked wonders on his old machine. Many years ago we were copying WP 5.1 for DOS into a RAM drive at boot up, then popping it up as a text editor in a document management system. Amazing what you could do with the old DOS and expanded/extended memory technology if you were willing to do the laborious custom-fitting. AbE: I thought we'd have dozens of members by now.

C'mon, Robin...sign up. It's easy, no technical wizardry required, and it makes a great screensaver.
I think it looks particularly good over a Chilean or Californian cabernet balancing an oakish presentation and long berry finish, perhaps with some baked brie and cold roast beef. Your results may vary. Save lives! Click here! Join the World Community Grid with Team EvC!

Nope, that's a universal law, Asgara.

I've added another device.
More are coming soon. Shame on you, young whippersnapper, passing an old man while he's ailing...
