My two new 4870s turned u 3hrs ago, to replace my old [3 months], slow [rac is only ~20.000 each] 3870s. So now I've got three 4870s, expect my rac to rise. :)
Cheers,

Donated to a good cause. Similar to the 'can I use my 800MHz P4 to crunch CPDN?' 'yes you can but you're using a lot of electricity for not much crunching' question, as 4870s have about 3x the throughput as 3870s I don't think its worthwhile trying to run them together for the small rac increase that it will give.


Cheers,

PeterV

LoL - Yes, me too ;-) And in those moments its really NO fun.. but
nothing to do about it later than to laugh of it. hehe. There are
several stories - but here is one;

Me; ..walking down the road to a house with two holiday appartments on 2.nd floor,
and a bigger "private" kitchen in the celler - were We ourselves make
food for guests after agree about such. I find the door to that kitchen open,
and an unknown woman standing in there doing "something" -
When coming down close to the door, she turns arounds, and almost physically
"grabs" me with her words;

Guest; Hey you!! Where are the waffle iron? I NEED a waffle iron!

Me; ehhrm.. What are you doing in that kitchen?

Guest; I told i couldnt make food on that small kitchen upstairs, so I
got access to this one!

Me; ohh. ok. What about the waffle iron? ;-)

Guest; I am making waffles!!!

Me; ahh.. But there is no waffle iron here.

Guests; ??? There are Always waffle irons EVERYWHERE!! What kind of stupid
place is this??

Me; Well.. I am sorry. i dont know what you find Everywhere. The appartments have
lots of necessary equipment - but not waffle irons. And the kitchen you are on now
is private.. When we are over here and shall use a waffle iron - we take along our own for the occation.

Guest; WTF?? (going crazy) I have made all this - and i cant use it -

Me; Mmmmhh.. why not check it or ask first?

Guest; ASK???? Ther are ALWAYS waffle irons EVERYWHERE!!

Me; oh.. ok. Well, I can go after my own, and you can borrow it. How about that?

Guests; If it Works! HURRY! It should have been here already anyway!!

Me; walking home, gets the iron, goes back and deliver it to the guest, who grabs
it without a word. In my "normal" way, I then say mostly as a joke;

- make sure theres one little hart left to go for the use
of the waffle iron then. Im sure they will taste very good. ;-))

Guest; HuH?? shouting; Do you really THINK Im standing here to make All these
waffles so YOU shall have them??? You are Surely not going to GET ANYTHING!!
Hrmff!!!

Me; ..looking at this woman.. thinking; Wow..you must have a happy life.. I`ll better
go away from here without saying anything more..

Guest; talking to herself whilst i goes away; What a hell of a place; I am forced
to use a tiny kitchen on an appartment. Then - on THIS one, there is no waffle iron .. And when finally
getting one . they think they shall get waffles!!! Hrmf!! Stupid people!!


Me; wondering how those vaffles taste..and walk back home... ;p
----------

It belongs to the story that she complained about Everything. And when they
went away she wrote in the guest-book; "This would have been such a wonderful
place if it wasnt for all the stupid people living here, who have ruined
it, and built all these houses that doesnt fit in here at all!!!"

I got the impression that only "selected" people shoud
have lived here, and they should live as in the middle age or what ever.. But a Waffle iron should
be avaliable of course. hehehe.
------
Most people are happy and find most of what they need. If not they ask
if there is any possibility for so and so.. and we try to help out if
we can. ;-) But once in a while we can come up in some sad situations.. ;-)

That guest must have been hit in her head by another Coconut some time...
That's one guest who'll not get back, but think about ALL the guests who loves the place, and will be back for years! Muuch better! :-)
