sorry to jump off the rail regarding the discussion ... though I must say this is the best company for miners, and this is one of the best forums I watch as well.
good points made by all, and at the end of the day we all have our own style ...

my question is probably pretty silly, but how do you point the SP's and multiple pools in the "Pools" menu?
Its just cgminer so you have to edit the cgminer.conf file
You have to follow the instructions on that page:
To edit this file, please use SSH to log in to your miner, and then use vi /etc/cgminer.conf
Thanks Biffa ... I was hoping it wouldn't require having to "putty" in
