Well, at the time you were thinking it was only for you. Now it's time to give
your baby up for adoption, so to speak. :)

YOU BETTER!

JAM, if you would please. Lots of stats programs, lots of data analizing stuff
out there for that format. Probably one of, if not the most supported format in
the FTN dealie we speak so highly of. :)

Ah okay. It would be no problem on my end. My original plan was to setup a new
node for this testing. All I would need to do is disable the compression and
I'll get packets instead. BUT, if you want to add that in.. by all means!

 NB>> Bleh. Get yourself a new machine.

Bleh. I'm going for a good X99 motherboard, and an intel 6-core processor. I'm
sure it will wipe the pants off any AMD 8-core processor in the making..

This is where I have my conundrum. My main server machine is currently running
an AMD Athlon 64 3700+ processor. Yeah, the shitty processor that can't handle
virtualization. So I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place right now, as far
as continuing with what I WANT to do. :(

 NB>> Go quad core, they're cheaper now.

 MK> I had a Xeon quad core awhile ago.  I liked that one.

Wow. What happened to that?

 MK> That's what ends up happening as a rule.

As usual. Though the parts seem to add up more than you can produce new
machines, for some odd reason.

Nick
