2) Questions and Answers : Unix/Linux : Have I been wasting my time for the past year? (Message 22226) Posted 20 Apr 2006 by old_user20372 Post: Hmm, I believe my model has been trickling every 3-4 days recently. So, this slab model I\'ve been running is no use any more. I have been wasting my time. Should I now take the following action to continue: (a) halt the execution of the current slab model and delete its data; (b) uninstall the version of BOINC I currently have; (c) install version 5.2.13; and (d) download a new model and start on it. Have I missed any messages telling me my slab model is obsolete, and my BOINC is out of date?

I hope not - I really want to help this project.
