    Shutdown for Earth Day

    I'm shutting down my computers for Earth Day. There are some computers on the Pharm that I do not have direct control of. I shall return to crunching on Wednesday. I think we should all give this a try. Its also a good day to clean out the dust from our crunchers.

    Happy Earth Day

    My PC's at home are off all day, they only come on to crunch from 6pm until about 10pm. Can't afford to have them on 24/7 anymore.

    Ah, Earth (for Humans) day. Life will be here, whether we are or not - the earth will continue to go on.

    I'm gonna shutdown my PC's on the 3rd May instead for "Shutdown Day"

    It's a case of "Can you survive without your PC for 1 whole day?"

    Impressive idea that shutdown day.

    I say I can live without but I get tetchy if the missus doesn't let me check my email at least once when she's about

    Mind I'm going to have a whole 2 weeks of no PC soon thanks to my trek.
