I don't know i go away on holiday for a while, and all hell breaks loose! :) A.C.H.O is no more, we have merged with other teams, and seem to be crunching better than ever. I have finally reinstalled windows on my aging corrupted installation, and am now crunching all the hours god sends on my 1.2GHz PIII and PIII850.

Good to be back, and Hi to all of our new friends from the other teams. :)

Welcome back. I came from SDL. I am very glad to be here. This is now the best team around and we are heading for number 5.

So what sort of % of you guys jumped ship over to the collective? Did you all, or were there a few who decided to struggle on with the old team? Lets just hope ARS and [H] don't decide to merge, that truely would be an unstoppable juggernaught!

We all came over. There are a couple that still have a machine here and there that needs to be changed to the new team number but other than that we are all here.

There were a few teams that came over (check out the home page) SDL was just one of them.

How does 100% sound to you?

We're all glad this worked out. It's great to be part of a wonderful and universal team here!

Awsome. That really is an achievement considering the negative response that the last suggestion of a merger prompted! Long live TGC! (is that an official abreviation, and if not why not! ;) )

siggy

Yes, that is actually the official abbreviation.

We ROCK.

I believe a good majority of PC Critix went in on the collective too.

I was hesitant at first, but I am glad we did it. Nice to see you back.

Thanks pelligrini, i see you have marched all the way up to 9th overall. Very impressive!!! Gawsh you are my mentor, :) out of interest what crunches faster, your P4s or your AMDs (if you have any)? I am going shopping soon and wanna get the best for G@H

Everything is Intel.

I have been awaiting JPS's findings.
thread (http://www.thegenomecollective.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=168)
There's a lot that can be derived from the data that he has collected. From what I have read, the T-Birds have the most bang for the buck. I'm not sure how they stack up to the P4's in genome though.

Welcome back Ben, I hope you didn't mind the redecorating we did in your absense....

Each time I read "We all came over" and "100%" I just feel all ghoooey.... Well done SDL and PC Critix.

Thanks Trill0, lol Phil :p The "redecorating" looks great. I never knew you would take this Borg thing so far :) Any other teams up for assimilation?

Martyn

21st July 2001, 08:01

Eeeek!

We are one new integrated team - read the board!

Welcome bacl Ben... I was wondering what happened to you. I'm on vacation right now. Using my brother-in-laws computer for Genome crunching and forum posting :)

That'll teach him for letting me stay at his place. :eek:

We didn't quite get 100%, Antigens left with athorsen. Kinda glad though, I was getting tired of the guilt trips about KWSN.

Ben Miles

Cheers Rick, Why don't you give your brother-in-law's PC a good overclocking for good measure :)

Your right VIrus, I forgot about Antigens. He was quite a producer too. It's a shame.

Brian Godwin has seemed to be missing also. He swiched over then back to SDL. I think he may be doing more seti. Has anyone been able to get hold of tenminjoe? He has put in 350 wu for SDL in the last week.

Ya I see that Sniper still has a machine over there too. And what about bgodwin1. Any one have a way of contacting?

Maybe he as a couple of machines and does not know that some are still posting to SDL?

Could be. His e-mail is listed under the members section on the SDL site. I figured someone got hold of him allready.

I guess it just takes time to get them all sorted.
