On my use of DeepThought I had to restart the Boinc client. I eneded up with a new copy of my G5, which wasn't a real problem as I just merged it with the originial. However, I chose the wrong one to merge and ended up with the old G5 merged into the new G5, meaning it now has the new pc number. :-( Not a tragedy though.
A bigger problem is that it is "deferring communication" for ~ 14 hours for some reason and there does not seem to be a way to get it to reconsider. Restarting the G5 didn't help.
:-(
Cheers,
Scott.
