The point being that doing all the protocols on a 2 based system is fairly easy. And doing even one of them on a 3 is a challenge. -- Tim Riker - http://Rikers.org/ - TimR at Debian.org Embedded Linux Technologist - http://eLinux.org/ BZFlag maintainer - http://BZFlag.org/ - for fun!

With something like a 3/60, you'll get the best points:effort ratio of anything that falls in your list. On anything with a "3" multiplier, it'll be very difficult to get even just 1 protocol working. Thus, a lot of effort for few points. I think your "3" multiplier maybe needs to be changed to a "5" or "6" multiplier at least.. Perhaps get rid of the "1" multiplier machines and change the "2" multiplier to be a "1", and the "3" could then stay about where it is. :) -- Purdue University Research Computing --- http://www.rcac.purdue.edu/ The Computer Refuge --- http://computer-refuge.org
