Whew, four more weeks to rest up before another round begins ...

I looked at my usage data, and my current Big Machine/ twin monitored, and laptop, (both set run when idle) were BOTH down for the month leading up to the big Day as I kept my screens open to every polling site in the book. (hey, I'm a former newspaperman, and was trained formally in Political Behavior, before learning how it really worked when I had the strange pleasure of riding "The Bus" with Messe'rs James (the Ragin Cajun) Carville and Paul (the Apologist for James) Begala. (that was two years before they ran a Presidential campaign, and I cleaned up placing newsroom bets on an unknown named Clinton when they signed on: damned great odds for the primary, and double-or-nuttin' for the Election if he made it - only bet on things when you KNOW the outcome based on the data) unless you can afford a loss.
Anyway, if anybody else wants to take a poll of SETI voters, that's cool, I'm not gonna do it, sig. sez all. I am just wondering how many folks kept their eyes glued to Media City as things came down to the wire - did we lose as many "chocolate dollars" an old-time phrase for billable hours of compute time?
