So here I am on Friday at 4:50 trying to push my poor computer to the edges of its abilities. Currently :
1. I'm compiling Gentoo Linux in 64-bit mode on one processor in VMWare
2. running Parallel's Desktop with Windows XP and SAS open to do some statistical analyses
3. I've got iTunes open playing some Howie Day
4. Net Station is processing ERP data for a paper
5. Microsoft Word 2004 is open with the beginnings of a paper being written up on my research
6. iChat is open where people are sending me the occasional message
7. my Email client is open receiving and occasionally responding to messages
8. and finally my web browser is open
All and all - my computers getting a decent workout. I'm a bit jealous though since I only have two processors and today I got to play with a computer that had 8. Oh well. Coming up on my last weekend in New Haven...

8!?! Is that really possible? How does that work? Does the computer use all 8 for all tasks or do you assign a task to a specific processor?
I sometimes feel so computer illiterate (especially in the presence of geekiness). ;)
