Myself, like probably most others, haven't been around long enough to experience a "total" solar eclipse but have seen partial ones. Now IMO, there is no comparison between the 2 whatsoever, you have to be in the totality corridor otherwise you will be underwhelmed by the experience, I know I...
Just curious if anyone else is as excited about this as I am? Just booked my hotel in Columbia SC and will be counting down the days until August 21st hehe.

Yuck, sounds like the LA region on the I-10, except this being north south. Leaving super early is sounding better and better, I don't care much for sitting in traffic or doing that 0-5 stuff, especially when on vacation.
Yeah there is no way I would take that, I stick to interstate style highway whenever possible, thats why I originally planned to take 826 to 874 to 821 from I-95 (where they come together with the end of the 91 turnpike).
I see that on the map, looks like a popular crossover point because they are so close. Originally I was looking at FL-786 PGA Blvd further north but south of your suggestion or I-595 further south if traffic became an issue en route. How early does the rush start in the Miami region?
I agree I defiantly want it to be daylight, at least for the Keys. Getting to the start of the Keys probably around 7am would be near sunrise I think, figuring 4 hours from Orlando to there.
We are planning on staying in Key West, and maybe do a few excursions to other parts of the Keys, still preliminary as I haven't booked anything yet. Sounds like getting up real early (2 am) to leave might be necessary, how early in the day does US-1 turn into a parking lot? I hate sitting in...
Going on a trip to the Keys from Orlando this summer and noticed there are several travel options, but after going to the Florida turnpike site and calculating a round trip, it would cost almost $37 ($18.44 exactly each way)!!! Rather than spending a nice dinner for two on road tolls, I came up...
During the P4 era, I was a die hard AMD guy, once Nehalem came out though........ back on topic. My Athlon T-Bird is at 82% over 3h5m on the extended PPS llr, the bigger ones will probably be 12 hrs as predicted.
Heck yeah, its crunching plus heating your home. Running about 5 million XP updates on it now, so SLOW. Needed it up anyway since I have floppies, Zip disks, and tapes I want to finally toss but check the data on.
Bought my first Mac 11 years ago but as a secondary platform. OS9, 10.0, and 10.1 were pretty much junk so I was using windows 90% of the time until I had a capacitor blow on my MB, and since I didn't have the money at the moment to fix my Win box, I was kind of forced into the platform full...
Thanks, I like it despite being almost 4.5 years old, runs stable and cool and is still plenty fast for my needs. I don't know how it compares to others but so far it can crunch based on my elapsed time (estimated seems broken):
PPS (Sieve) 1.39 - 21.5 hrs
Riesel LLR 6.13 - 49 hrs...
Just joined the team, started crunching a few weeks ago with my 2x Xeon E5462 Mac Pro and my i7-2760QM MacBook Pro laptop. Too late for the challenge :(
