Two work units diverged in a splitter, and I—
I took the one less crunched,
And that has made all the difference.

If I had a work unit, I'd crunch it in the morning,
I'd crunch it in the evening, all over this land...

Is this a work unit which I see before me, The header toward my hand? Come, let me crunch thee.

And now I have finished a workunit that neither the wrath of my wife, Nor CPU crash, Nor power supply death shall be able to destroy.

Workunits is an issue of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter.

Never in the field of distributed computing was so much owed by so many to so few.

Quoting a famous speech of Sir Winston Churchill although adapted to us!!

I shot a work unit into the air, And and which ever wingman got it, I know not where.

Moderator, do you think they'll drop the RAC?
Moderator, do you think they'll like this Result?
Moderator, do you think they'll try to break my Score?
Moderator, should I build the Credit?
Moderator, should I run for Astropulse?
Moderator, should I trust the Workunits?
Moderator, will they put me in the validated line?
Is it just a waste of time?

A work unit saved is a pending for a wingman.

Once upon a midnight dreary, while I crunched so weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious work unit of forgotten stored,
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a cache in,
As of some server gently rapping, rapping at cache unit door.
`'Tis some AP's,' I muttered, `tapping at my cache unit door -
Only this, and nothing more.'

Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the bleak December,
And each server dying ever wrought its mobo upon the floor.
Eagerly I wished the morrow; - vainly I had sought units to borrow
From my cores surcease of sorrow - sorrow for the lost units stored -
For the rare and radiant work units whom the admins named vlar -
Work units here for evermore.


with humble apologies to Edgar Allan
