....I noticed I had a unit sent in February due in by next week. Now, if I could d/l it again, I could fill the gap.
I know you send out multiple copies of each unit or overlap work units to prevent this kind of problem from leaving a hole in the data, but I hate seeing an open spot I'll never be able to fill since the data went up in a head crash. Other features I wouldn't mind seeing: ELIMINATION of the screen saver - even with the World's Fastest Video Card, allowing use of the 'saver rather than blanking the screen slows mprogress by at least 50% - OK some people want to feel "connected" - develop a screen saver that delivers running numeric totals every n seconds without wasting time to draw pretty pictures.
ALSO: Some report on what came out of a unit that I can go back to - sort of like those who save old lotery tix to see how many numbers they got out of 6 scattered across their 10 picks each week. Put it on the page showing credit awarded, possibly, for reference, listing the best unit so far (and with permission, the computer owner's name) in various categories. Then again, if "My computer" detects a real signal, it's not like I played any special role in matters - I'm just one more donor of unused cycles.

Can not be sent out to you again.

When the Devs get time I am sure they will develop some kind of graphs to show the best signals and such....
