Here we are on the very eve of the demise of SETI classic.

The team of which I am a member, The Internet Infidels, 262 members, has produced just 8 transfers to BOINC. That's 3%. When the dawn comes up like thounder outa BOINC across the way, how many crunchers will we have? And given the present state of affairs does it matter?

Consider yourself lucky.

I can't get my neighbor to switch to BOINC, much less any other team members, and we even share the same internet connection.

You mention that we're at the eve of the demise of Classic..... Has a definite date been set yet? I imagine we'll have quite a shortage of WUs when the first wave of transfers takes place, as the schedulers would have to run extra long to just keep up with the demand of new WUs....

All is bright and rosey, and the present state of affairs is OK.......
