My computer is not fast enough and is used too much to render to disk anything that will take more than 2 days so the 4000x3000 render I started a few days ago is 1/3 complete and has logged 80 hours and 25 minutes of CPU time. (It just occurred to me I should save it.) Anyways, I took an extra step and set BOINC to run only at nighttime hours so I can still contribute to the scientific commmunity but I'm still looking at a render time measured in weeks. An idea to utilize the campus network came to me but I can't get Lightning to recognize any other computers(resnet sucks(a few people in my building generating heavy bandwidth took out a switch, it took over a week to get it running full speed again). I'll pay to ship it back. I live in the Electrical and Computer Science Living and Learning Center so everything I need(monitor etc.) is just laying around(except a whole computer).

Hey Drac! I saw your version CPU usage graph comparison and mine looks like v5.5 but it turns out I have v5.0. Thought you would find that interesting.

Doesn't a Library near you have computers? You could use those....
