Eric.....

You are the one and only person I truly trust on this project.......

Would you be so kind as to post your thoughts about this whole Cuda flap?

It would answer a lot of questions.....even if you just say to drop it and move onward.

I would not have anything against it if the dang thing only worked properly and was not corrupting the results......

So please Eric......a penny for your thoughts?

Just a note saying I've personally made Eric aware of this thread and hope he'll respond when he's able...

Still waiting on Eric..........

It's still teatime, Sunday afternoon - he's probably gone out for a walk.

Give the man a break.

But I would be getting as twitchy as Mark - say, 24 hours from now.

The tea has gotten a bit stale........and although I am sure Eric cherishes his tea time as much as anybody.....I would hope he would answer me.........

This needs to be answered as much as anything else on the project........

Blugh.. Tea.. Max Headroom's favorite.

I'd rather have a Dr Pepper.

Hey'a Mark!

Nice new rig. I sprung for an i7 too but its a 920. Packing an Nvidia 295 though. Once CUDA is working properly, this thing is going to smoke! (Figuratively of course. No letting out the magic smoke from my $500 video card please.)

I dropped an Nvidia 280 in the quad 9400 too. So it's waiting as well.

Thats 720 GPU cores waiting for stable software.

Looking forward to your thoughts Eric. I saw Matt's post about the issues being addressed but he didn't have much to say.

The open letter to Eric will be answered Thursday in his Staff post. I will link the post here at that time. Locking the thread since answers will be forthcoming.

Midnight Pacific that is. It's 7:41pm and I have to pick up Angela at 8:05, which should give me enough time to get home, eat dinner, and post something before Midnight.
