My fleet has been decimated

My once proud fleet has been greatly decimated. I'm back to just having Socket 7 systems 🙁. First off, the systems I had running at school are not giving WUs anymore and since I graduated I don't have authority to go back there and get them going again. So there goes a dual PIII-450, a single PIII-450 and a P166. Today I, along with everyone else at my office, was laid off. They are closing our tech support office for no good reason. That kills of 2 constant PIII-450s and an iMac.

Right now that leaves me with my home fleet which consists of:
K62-350
P266
P233
P200
P200

My cousins Celeron 333, a friend's K62-300 and P200, another friend's K62-350, my fiancee's K6-166 that she REFUSES to leave on all the time, and a co-worker who pitied my loss of Seti power will dedicate his 486 with BSD to doing Seti for me. So that's it. Less than 10 WU's a day for me, back to single digits. The fastest system, the Celery 333, does WUs in 24 hours with 3.03 so some days it's possible only 1 WU will be done since the K62-350s do 30-35 hour WUs now. 🙁
 
OMG!

Sorry to hear that, esp. the lay-off part. I've been through that myself. Been laid-off and lost my fleet here recently. Hang in there bro, you'll make it through and most likely find an even better job. 🙂
 
And yet the govenment stated the "technical" jobs are in great need for the next 5 years. Humm...

I don't think you should have much of a problem finding another one, sorry to hear the bad news though.


Hang in there,

Sorry about the loss of your cows, but I am really sorry to hear about:
<Today I, along with everyone else at my office, was laid off>
That really really sucks. 🙁

I hope you find a job quickly, and it turns out to be even better than the one you lost.

Best of luck,
Ray
 
Sorry to hear the bad news Ben 🙁 ,especially losing your job ,I hope you find a new one quickly.
Ref your old school ships it maybe they have been blocked as a result of SETI switching over to v3.03? (or were they on v3.03?).
I will miss looking out for your name just above or below me in the weekly stats.

But I know that sooner or latter you will return there 😉
