    1st in Tanpaku

    19,127 points till number #1 to be exact at this moment! Check the time.

    I can't give her anymore then I am, remember farmers I have 2 systems only! Currently we are sub sonic and so close to the barrier that if I attempt to push either one any closer to Mach 1, they crash. I believe with 3,200 points daily I have accomplished as much as I can give!

    I may be a tiny farmer, but I can really make my farm animals do lots of work.

    I've still got 4 more systems sitting idle, ranging 600MHz, 1.2Ghz, 1.6Ghz & 2Ghz so not much to add in performance terms. Unfortunately though I have no safe way of plugging them in at the moment due to either being in arms reach of the kids or lack of amps! So I'm probably going to keep them off until I work this conundrum out!

    Speaking of farm animals in my last post, I thought maybe since your lacking in power from the grid you might consider using an alternative source of energy. Those children of yours seem to have so much energy they never stop running around the house do they? Place them in a wheel setup similar to those hamster excercisers and let the kids power your systems. Making sure you don't over power, then add a regenerative braking mechanism so if they exceed the optimum speed you can garner energy to be stored for when the little rascals/children do actually sleep. You can then run the computers off the stored juice. Now if we could all use this exciting method for improving our output we would surely boost our numbers wouldn't we!

    This is humor people, not intended for real life use!

    On another side of thinking why don't you try a solar adaptation on your house, the addition of energy! Just a thought. This improvement usually comes with an upgrade on the electrical circuitry to the house. Also there are really good incentives right now in adding solar to your homes! Pay offs in 3 to 5 years instead of 20 in years past.:5propeller:

    Now 18,000 points from our GOAL! Check the time, 1 hour change provides 1,000 points great job everyone!

    The amount of energy the eldest has I could easily power the whole street!!!

    My issue is around my circuit breaker in my home office, as it's pretty close to maximum, throwing 1 more system in the pot, let alone all 4, would trip it! ...and leaving anything with buttons and lights on it within the house often leads to having it pulled apart and added to a train set by a 2½ yr/old almost immediately!
