Thanks. It's just beginning to awaken. Those long exposure shots sure make it look malevolent. It's gonna be one STEEP learning curve, since I missed the Vista experience and went from XP to Win 7. I got a lot to learn.

I tried to run wPrime last nite and kept getting "Unexpected errors." Hell, aren't any program crashes unexpected? Jeeze. Back in the day when I wrote code for a living, if I'd written that I woulda had my hands slapped for not providing more diagnostic info.

I finally blundered thru disabling User Control and got it to run. It ran the 32m test in 16.34 seconds. Compare that to my current, dual-core, 3ghz, 2gig ram XP box that ran it in 84+ seconds; roughly 5 times the speed of the dual quad-core systems.

I guess you could say that it ran that test "at 5 times the speed" of the XP box, even though that's sorta misleading. But it's a hell of a lot faster.

I sure like those 15 second boot times.
