Ok, the site said that if I was a user of seti@home (aka: classic seti@home) before May '04 that my account with BOINC was already created using my 'classic' data. All I had to do is activate it. So I installed BOINC and have it running, but it shows my total credit as 0. I thought that it was suppose to link to my data for my classic seti? So if I install BOINC on all my systems and uninstall the seti classic, I am starting all over again? I was kinda proud of seeing the number of work units my systems had processed. Anyway of getting BOINC to show the total number of units for seti@home users, both classic and BOINC?

I think they said there was no way to do that. They will have the total classic credits you ended with but when you start BOINC, you are starting clean.

Your "Account Data" page shows 2,776 classic workunits as of 14 May 04, this will be updated when classic ends. "Total Credit" refers to SETI BOINC and starts from scratch.

Thanks all. Well at least BOINC seems to make better use of the processor. Should be caught back up to my classic rank in just a little over a year.
