Ahhhh.
Sweats of withdrawal already!
My understanding of BOINC has increased dramatically because of running this project.
Thanks Capt. for that and the amazing ride.
Pirates will be fondly remembered by many.

Most exciting pirate thread to date!
Big respect to all here.
To peg leg for his keen eye in all this and courage to report knowing full well of possible damage to personal relationship even beyond this one project. And for declining the gold bullion you show you truly are not a ‘rich man’

Respect for the Capt. for making all the right moves.

Praise for one eye, not punishment.
If he comes clean and helps us fix the problem, then there is no problem.

Real question remains. why, dear boinc do you allow this technically
I have had fleeting thoughts of doing this myself, so i’m sure have many others.
This should be front page news. Brought to you by the team of peg leg and one eye. Sponsored by Pirates!

Seems to be the charm. No more computation errors.
Maybe we can see more of the impossible cage now?

Song: Ride Captain Ride Artist: The Blues Image

Seventy-three men sailed up from the San Francisco Bay
Rolled off of their ship, and here's what they had to say
"We're callin' everyone to ride along to another shore
We can laugh our lives away and be free once more"

But no one heard them callin', no one came at all
'Cause they were too busy watchin' those old raindrops fall
As a storm was blowin' out on the peaceful sea
Seventy-three men sailed off to history

Ride, captain ride upon your mystery ship
Be amazed at the friends you have here on your trip
Ride captain ride upon your mystery ship
On your way to a world that others might have missed

(Repeat first two verses)

(Chorus)

Ride, captain ride upon your mystery ship
Be amazed at the friends you have here on your trip

Aaargh!
Error Starting Program. A required DLL file, MSCOREE.DLL was not found.
Seems we need Microsoft.Net Framework to run this app.
Warning for Win98 users. I found version 1.1 runs ok, but updating .net to the newest version causes dreaded shutdown problems for this outdated OS.

Good luck with this app.
By strange coincidence I heard a tune last night that I haven?t heard in years.
From now on it will remind me of Pirates@Home.
Too bad they refer to the wrong coast. But I can ignore that.
