    Easynews is going down (for good)

    Time to start the countdown. We're now less than 200 million behind Easynews and closing the gap every day. Let's try to catch them by Christmas.

    Rigs are up, except for one which has a blown PSU. Needed some more heat in the house with the coming of winter anyway....

    Hmm. A hundred and ninety eight million points in a few weeks. We'll need an army of super virile computers scoring 'round the clock! I'll do my part. Kif, clear my schedule!

    lol inspired by a futurama quote. it fits quite well

    I've installed it on a retailer's computers before - and they let me. Just look at the computers and wait for a rep to come talk to you, then when he asks what you're interested in start talking about some of the high end computers, then mention you'd like to see how they handle a load without overheating - you mind if I install a temp monitor and a stress testing application I use? I got the response "no problem - I'll help ya out". Got it installed on all their 3 high end systems until they sold.
