I am down two machines. When I retired at the end of the year, I left my G4 Mac and my IBM running, but the IBM will not restart F@H if it gets rebooted for any (of many possible) reason. I was last Mac holdout in the department so it is quite likely that that machine has been disconnected by now.
Speaking of F@H, the personal progress page stopped posting the last report and the number of clients so I cannot monitor if these machines are still at work. Is there a way to find out?
They turned those stats off at F@H as they were taking too much to process on their old statistics servers. The stats servers are in the process of being upgraded, hopefully the information about machine numbers and other personal stats will get turned back on.
But, by looking at your stats on extremeoverclocking.com, it looks like you just have the one Intel Mac still folding and sending in about one unit a day. No small point units like your former Mac and PC at work would have turned in show in the daily stats going back to the 18th. The weekly totals for the couple weeks before that are also consistent with just a single Intel Mac turning in 5 or 6 units during the week. Best I can infer from the numbers showing for you.
As for this:
Do you have any idea how much electricity FAH wastes? You might be surprised.
Yes, I do have an idea what it costs me extra to keep my and my son's Mac's folding. It is a fraction of what it costs to keep my fridge running over the course of a month. I don't consider it a "waste".
