I'm having to adjust to no longer having a scrolling wheel on the mouse (didn't think I'd miss that!). 3 hrs & 45 minutes now, up to sd 14 and Comet still wants Nf3. Comet's on infinite for time control, so it'll just do this till I hit esc. I'm going upstair to watch the second running of The Tonight Show, maybe I'll give it the weekend (don't hold me to that!)
