Well, I just finished processing my second "work unit" on the home PC and discovered something I thought anyone else doing this should know. Turning off the display option really matters. 233MMX with 64 mb, running pretty much undisturbed (it was a very nice weekend in the Tidewater area) display enabled - 56hr 03min 07.3 sec display DISabled - 22hr 57min 30.1 sec Now the display is pretty and nice to watch (for a couple of minutes anyway), but boy can you get more done without it. ******************************* Terry W.
