	wondering if... i should close my PC during that time ? are my PCs endanger ? Hard to say.....if the power grid gets messed up, it could cause a lot of havok. I am gonna risk it, and leave all the crunchers online for the day. If one wanted to take the safe route, you would shut them all down and pull the plug until the effects have subsided. A choice one must make. None of us on planet Earth, knows exactly what is going to happen. May be a fart in a windstorm, might be a major event. It will certainly have some impact, but just where and how much? Your guess is as good as anybody's. ____________ ****** "Ask not, what your kitty can do for you. Ask what you can do for your kitty."

	I wish I had been awake to take a look outside. It was due at my location between 1:00AM and 5:00AM. I've seen the Aurora several times before here in New Hampshire, and it was beautiful. I really like looking at Celt Tooth's pictures. Very nice! Steve ____________ Warning, addicted to SETI crunching! Crunching as a member of GPU Users Group. GPUUG Website

	I think "Kittie" looks more worried than "MS".... The chief kittie, as seen in the photo, looks very purposeful to me. I suspect chief is already planning for a weekend "kittiethon" to make up for any lost crunching time if the households computer system has to be shut down due to the solar storm. ____________ The Kite Fliers -------------------- Kite fliers: An imaginary club of solo members, those who don't yet belong to a formal team so "fly their own kites" - as the saying goes.

	Has anyone heard of any effects? Lots of news stories saying stuff is going to happen, but nothing saying stuff HAS happened? Maybe the tin foil hats protected everyone? LOL (Nick - do you HAVE to admit to your Britishness - they'll think we are ALL fools!!! LOL.) ____________

	(Nick - do you HAVE to admit to your Britishness - they'll think we are ALL fools!!! LOL.) Well, somethings up, Andy, because the "kitties" have just posted a photo of their computer room.
