Thank you... I appreciate your response and tips. My life got complicated and this is the first chance I've had to check back...

I do have virtualbox installed

It's been literally months since I have received any significant work assignments. When I first noticed, I changed my preferences to work from all LHC jobs. This did not help.

I am wondering why this has happened, as nothing on my side has changed. Where I was once having LHC tasks in my queue all the time, I am now relegated to virtually none. And yet BOINC is asking for tasks from you many times per hour.

Please let me know what has changed. If you don't want or need my computing cycles, let me know so I can remove LHC from my project list.

Sorry ... this message didn't get to where I thought it would go, and now I can't find the delete button... Kindly ignore...

I wasn't aware of any graphic feature for LHC@Home. On my BOINC dashboard, that particular button for LHC is faded, indicating it's not available ... or so I believe. It only seems active for Einstein@ and Seti@ home.

I enjoyed reading your latest update! What amazes me is that, at least in the smallest of analogs, I believe I understand pretty much of which you spoke. Or maybe I'm just imagining things.

I've been rather fascinated with particle physics and subsequently, quantum theory, ever since I heard of the 6 names for quarks. And then folks like you all start talking about Higgs bosons, and beauty and other things hinting at theories confirmed by colorful cloud-chamber tracings that, from my perspective, have beauty more fantastic than any one particle can describe. Again, from my perspective... ;-) But I live a sheltered life.

You folks may continue using my computer (plural, on occasion). I do not have a high-tech ultra-speed Unix system presently. But I am well aware of the fact that mere drops of water, over time, carved the Grand Canyon, and sculpted amazing features over the entire planet. My hope is that, with all the BOINC(k)ers out here, we might help to fashion a better understanding of the non-linear aspects of our entire universal experience. Knowledge is, after all, the most powerful thing we have. We but need to know how to use it to unleash it's full potential.

Anyway, thank you all; keep up the good work. I, and my resources are at your service!
