That's confusing for two reasons

a) I always install condor with instruction to "always run condor jobs" and 
not when keyboard is idle or etc. By it I understand that my computer should 
always be available to condor; no matter what.
b) I never ask for any particular requirements and send null instead. By 
this I understand that whatever be the case or however meagre the resources 
may be but computers should just execute the jobs.

Above both, if true, imply that a match should always be made. Since it's 
not been the case so either I have a wrong understanding or I am missing 
something elsewhere i.e. may be in the configuration or the code. Could you 
put me right about it, please.

It seems I should be specifying some Requirement atleast, like "OpsSys == 
\"WINNT51\"" or something. I am sending null as of now. Is it wrong ?

Cheers for all the help.
