2) Questions and Answers : Macintosh : saving work (Message 8474) Posted 2 Feb 2005 by old_user45664 Post: Thanks. I wasn't sure if my work was saved or not, so that is nice to know. I noticed When I launch the terminal, I just hit the up arrow to the command and hit return. No typing. I will do a shell script for it, but that is for another day. Rather rusty in the scripting department. BTW, I erred when I said I was a refugee of Folding@home, that should have been the now completed distributed folding project. I really enjoyed doing that project. I still have folding@home running in the background and have been for many years. this is where I am at this time. 1811? 43uj_000213533 - PH 1 TS 005822 - 02/04/1811 07:00 - H:M:S=0026:15:07 AVG=16.23 DLT=60.35 43t2_000213479 - PH 1 TS 005827 - 02/04/1811 09:30 - H:M:S=0026:11:01 AVG=16.18 DLT= 6.65 43uj_000213533 - PH 1 TS 005823 - 02/04/1811 07:30 - H:M:S=0026:15:14 AVG=16.23 DLT= 6.59 43uj_000213533 - PH 1 TS 005824 - 02/04/1811 08:00 - H:M:S=0026:15:20 AVG=16.23 DLT= 6.27 43uj_000213533 - PH 1 TS 005825 - 02/04/1811 08:30 - H:M:S=0026:15:27 AVG=16.23 DLT= 7.04 43uj_000213533 - PH 1 TS 005826 - 02/04/1811 09:00 - H:M:S=0026:15:34 AVG=16.23 DLT= 6.61 43uj_000213533 - PH 1 TS 005827 - 02/04/1811 09:30 - H:M:S=0026:15:40 AVG=16.22 DLT= 6.28 Al Welcome Alfredo, glad to have you on board. > > Nothing special is really required.

I haven't found anything on it yet, maybe I am looking in the wrong place. Please help this folding@home refugee. alfredo
