14 IBM..................................(+100719)................... +1391
15 TA.................1264328........................................ +8302

That was from today's "Local Group" report. I think I see IBM's dust in the distance. Time to make them eat ours. :D

ASSIM1 : You even need a reason ? ;) :D

The race is going to be : Will we pass IBM before DSLR pass us ? And now go back cracking WU ! ;)

There should only be reasons to NOT open a beer. This is not one of them. Let's drink to that!

Do not assume that we will be so blinded by our race to catch IBM that we will allow DSLR to pass us. ;) Why do you think we have been doing these Recruiting Threads, even though there is no "Official" race going on? ;)

I hope it works out, BigFatCow. That would be a nice assimilation. :D

BigFatCow, make sure he has permission. :)

Now it would be real impressive if we can do 100000 WU in 1 month! :D

Well, do not forget that IBM will also be crunching during all that time. So it will be some time in early 2002 when we pass them.

We should have no problem passing IBM. It's just a matter of WHEN.:) We have more people and better average time per wu.

The race to pass The Planetary Society is what I'm looking forward to (since I'm a former member of their team).;) We just need to keep DSLR in the rear view......

If we got T1 and D1 and maybe some other departed members back, that might cut down the gap enough that we could pass them by New Year's :)

IBM: 1,366,762
TeAm AnandTech: 1,270,915

The difference? 95,847 WU's. We have broken their 100K WU lead! They are in firing range, damn the torpedoes and full speed ahead! :D

You guys should have no problems passing IBM prior to DSLR passing you. Shoot, we'll pass IBM before we're close enough for you to feel us breathing down your necks. I think our predictions show March of next year we'll be around the block and ready to knock on your door.

Since you don't have anything to worry about, shut off some of those spare CPUs and save the energy :)
