    "(mike, you take the macs,I'll take the quads..lolololol)"

    And.....
    since, according to Dave, Clovers "aren't quads", I'll take those.

    Get better quick, Carl! Doesn't sound like fun.

    Thanks guys! It would seem that it just wasnt my time to go. The antibiotics and roids are doing their work and I'm feeling somewhat human again. Was able to get a little food and water down last night, albeit still with difficulty, but at least I wasnt writhing around on the floor cryin for "momma!".

    Back to bed...

    For strep, you should DEMAND hydrocodone, codeine at the very least. Strep is really awful and the drugs take at least a couple days to kick in. You need something to keep the pain under control. But the DEA has doctors quaking in their boots so if you have anything less serious than multiple compound fractures, all you get is Tylenol or Advil - what bullsh**.

    Anyway, glad to hear you're doing better. Crunch on!!!

    It's been snowing up in the mountains where he lives. I'm sure that doesn't help. He just needs plenty of rest.

    Get well SS.

    Mike, did you get the MINI S? I had a 2002 S that I modified to 220 horses and raced at the Zhuhai track in southern China. Held the course record for MINIs at 2:00, when stock Lotus Elise does 2:03. It was fun tailgating a few Ferraris on a track date. Unfortunately the Mrs won't allow me to race anymore so it is now retired. I hope you enjoy the car.

    SS, I hope that you are feeling better. And as usual my recommendation is to take two quads and call me in the morning.

    Don't worry about Easynews for now. We will get them in the end. Just concentrate on getting well.

    By the way, I will be building another quad-core cruncher this coming weekend. I'm just waiting for the parts to arrive.

    I agree, some of us are working on the new machines. Some are upgrading OS, cpu etc .. so give it a little time and they'll go down for good

    Their numbers have been fairly steady the past couple of weeks. If we can boost our average to 4.3 million or higher, they will be toast.

    I think Shintai finally applied the blowtorch.....It also sounds like DDT is getting out the welding gear....

    It has been frustrating watching us almost get there. Viet, Dave, Shoot, Fallwind, myself, and others have powered up some and yet we didn't seem to get there on the team daily score. I don't understand this. We had to have some players drop off??

    I'm sure we'll get them. Of course it may take about 20 years to pass their overall points, but we may get a good boost with octo cores next year....

    Keep on crunching,
