I'll send over some genuine White Castle hamburgers from NYC. It will be a test of skill. Will Eric be able to control himself? Will the raccoon make it 10 feet without leaving a trail? Will Angela laugh herself silly in the process? (And what of Naomi?)

For those of you unfamiliar with the White Castle hamburger, they're about 2 inches square, steamed in onion juice and served with ketchup, pickles and chopped onions on a seedless bun. The taste is unlike anything you've ever eaten but they are guaranteed to cause a significant increase in gastric pressure.

At 49 cents they're the cheapest laxative in the world that works in 15 minutes. Our raccoons love them. Just stay upwind.

Thanks. I doubt if I can recover the files, something rattles around inside. Another door chock for my collection.

My hard drive suffered a hard crash. I had about 5 or 6 work units downloaded, with 2 in progress.

When I replace the drive and reinstall BOINC is there anyway to get the server to re-download the same WUs or are they going to have to "expire"?

Thanks for your answers...

Frank
