Up to here I thought, MW units dont checkpoint. Today I got forced to reboot, and it looked like, the WU continued from the point where I suspended it before the reboot. Confirmation?

The Wu's do Checkpoint, and if the BOINC Client is shut down Properly first you can Re-Boot & start out where you left off. But if theres a power outage or the Computer hangs & you have to Re-Boot then it's a toss up whether the Wu will start where you left off or end up giving you a Computation Error ... :)
