I got the new machine at work and I blew out my machine at home and brought it back to life.

I used to get big Einsten WU's the were worth 100+ points. Now I get smaller WU's that are only fetching 12 points or so.

What gives? Any ideas?

Sir Brian may be right but as a side note, It has been my experience that the new and also the unreliable computers get the small ones.

Nothing personal Sir Brian. I know you left and came back, but on my main one I only got large ones until they started having problems. By unreliable I mean like my 3rd son, who just waisted 65 small pkgs because he did not bring his comp to my house or his brothers and plug in the lan by 1/7. Work was done he was just too lazy to bring it one mile.

Lots of people complaining on the Einstein boards they are only getting small units. So, the end of the run must be mostly small units. If some big ones expire from machines not returning them, then you might get one. Unsure if any more are being made.

I like the shorter WU's better than the longer ones.

All the WU's I've got from Einstein are in the 40min-1hour runtime range as well. I'm an Ein00b though, so I could be one of those unreliable types.

Lately they are handing out short WU's. Haven't gotten a big one for some time as well.

My guess is that ir Brian is probably right. They are near the end of S5, so only the small ones are left with the occassional big one popping up (from not being returned. When S6(?) comes aroound, then there will be plenty of big ones to go out.
