Hi ArVee!
Well, what I have is hit a big bunch of those really long work units that take my core 2 duo's over thirty minutes per frame.
WHY?
Because I am too cheap to buy a new motherboard, ram, and a newer hyper threading I-7 2600 like BAP has that just eats these things with ease.
I just purchased a new stationary bike for mrs. micro to work out her leg strength on getting ready to have a replacement knee surgery in a couple months.
I now have had my friend Arthur Itis creep into the middle of my spine, as he already has taken up residence in my lumbar region, and cause me untold misery in the T-8 vertebrae area.
The Meloxicam helps control the lumbar region but does nothing for the middle spinal area.
I see a Spinal Surgeon on Tuesday to see what can be done as walking is very difficult and 500 MG of Percocet do not phase the pain.
Hopefully I can get a SHOT in the spine that will relieve it, which allows me to take care of my wife and see her through her trials.
Its not so fun getting older. I missed several days of work this past week with this. I really need to get some help this coming week.
MArk seems to have gotten back and running again.
I'll keep an eye on the machines from here. But what I have noticed is those painfully long CPU work units.
the best,
micro...
