Ah, I wondered if you would read carefully enough to see that message, Steve. Haven't seen you on icc much lately... though I am not online as much either since I have no access at home currenty. That's gotta change... the guys at AT&T can't give me a firm date on when cable is ready (sometime in the next two months it sounds like). I can get DSL at home now but because of my bad experience with it in the last place (expensive and poor performance) I thought I'd give cable a try. If I don't get a firm date from them soon, though, I'll probably bite the bullet and call Verizon. 3 months is a long time to have no Internet at home. I suppose I could get a modem but is slow Internet any better than none at all? Ha, spoken like a true bandwidth-spoiled geek. >Scott was especially helpful. As Scott was >doing serious development on Monsoon at the same time I was with Chester, we >shared a lot of ideas, worked through a lot of bugs together/etc. You might >even be able to say Chester and Monsoon grew up together.. :) I honestly think I got more out of these discussions than I gave... I may have had one or two good ideas but monsoon is full of things we kicked around that were really Steve's idea originally. What's Chester doing on ecm 20 sec/move these days? I finally got a new machine (actually a while back). It's a dual 1.2Ghz palamino w/ 1Gb. I have not parallelized the search yet (though I have worked out a nice locking mechanism for the hash table) and wanted to get a nice baseline 1proc ecm score now that I am no longer forced to use the 450Mhz cpu. I'm at 612/879 currently (this, also, is the Win32 port). With the 450Mhz I think i was around 535/879 (running on FreeBSD). Also, speaking of webpages, monsoon's is another casualty of the lack-o-internet-connection. Scott
