    Just signed up for BAM but not quite sure what it does TBH. an a lot of settings to sort out.
    Like an ol` 8086, slow but serviceable.

    BAM is very handy (I find) if you have lots of boxes to manage - can add projects, change resource %age and drop projects from a single box...depends how many projects and boxes you run as to it's usefulness...

    BAM is fine when your BOINC client listens to it properly
    I had it set to give Priority to something not Aqua but NQueens (well I'll give it a blast through)
    NQueens - 600
    Rosetta - 200
    AI - 200
    on BAM!

    Mine said

    Nqueens -600
    Rosetta - 800
    AI - 200
    now i changed this to 600/300/300 and it worked yet Rosetta was at 600 before so it should have changed just something to note...
    Semi-retired from Free-DC...
    I have some time to help.....
    I need a new laptop,but who needs a laptop when you have a phone...
    Now to remember my old computer specs..

    Oh Goddess of the Gigahurts:

    You can suspend the tasks, reboot and restart them without loss of data.

    A power outage is not a suspend task and reboot, as ColinT suggested.
    But ya, that sucks!
