    Well.... Power gets cut at 7:00 am (1300 GMT) until sometime after 5:00 pm (2300 GMT). Then I cannot get in until 7:00 AM on Monday (since I live fairly far away from work). UGGGG. 48 hrs of lost WU!!!! Humanity may fail with out my WU's. Sorry guys.... I let you down.

    Hey, you haven't let anyone down. You're doing a great thing for the team and the project, so just keep that in mind. Maybe your job let you down, but at least they let you run the program at work. I worked for a computer company that wouldn't let us Fold at work, despite the fact that every tech there concurred that it wouldn't be a problem. It was a small company, but there must have been a total of thirty computers there. They also thought that one dial-up connection was more than ample for six techs to share, which didn't quite cut it when you had to download drivers for someone's old Packard Bell while five other guys were trying to check out an FCC ID #, dl service packs, etc. (Not to mention the "bible music" :tongue: ) I actually downloaded every Compaq Softpaq at home on my cable modem and burned them on to 20 CD's.

    I think by Monday you'll be feeling better. :thumbsup::fold:

    Unfortunately, I work at a VERY secure site, and I have to login. I seem to have problems running the FireDeamon Service (Performance).... Oh well. I'm up and running yet again. Didn't lose any ground either... huh?
