Sorry guys, it was a six year run at this particular client's shop, but today one of their new employees decided that F@H "slowed her computer down too much" and no amount of technical explanation would satisfy her.

I'm losing approximately 20 machines that range from P4 2.2ghz to 3.2ghz. :-/

    Some other "techie" came in there and said "Oh, this FAH thing is 'eating up' 100% of your CPU. There's your problem" :rolleyes:

    Some other "techie", who is apparently either too stupid or too lazy to actually check something out before passing judgment on it. :shakehead

    Would it not be possible to get the the client to allow F@H on all the other PC's - except the one who moaned

    Nope, she's the office manager, and is "in charge" of the equipment. She wins.

    I would love to have that ID 10 T techie over here to see what you can do with 2 instances of F@H running along with WinAmp in the background and AnyDVD with CloneDVD2 burning a stack of DVD-R's for one of my clients. This guy is so dumb I'm not even going to use any smilies for once. Keep up the great work prime - was a great run!! Jack
