That sounded so cool.  When I read it I thought it was some independent machine
you have to plug in via a serial port or something and it was just a box with
ram and processors and the os was on an EPROM.  But that card, well I could be
possible.

Well Maybe one day soon I will finally catch up with work units.  The reason I
am going so fast right now is because one of the servers I maintain is not
being used over the for anything more then having 4 people save files to it.
So I have SETI @ Home running on it until Mid August.  Then Ill be back to my
Home machine which takes 24-26 Hours per work unit.
