I am running Macintosh OS 10.39 on a dual processor G4. I just deleted all of BOINC and downloaded a new version as the previous didn't work. The new version appears to be working (the published installation instructions are incomplete). My question is what happened to all of the work units Classic performed after march 2005? My computer kept working and completing work units but SETI shows nothing after March. The websites shows 630 units completed but my computer says I have completed 798 units. What happened to them? Will I get credit eventually? If BIONIC is the only supported SETI application why did my Classic version continue to download and process new work?

The work units will be credited to your account when classic shuts down.

Thanks for the info. This answers some of my questions. I will be patient for the Classic shut down to receive credit (any idea when?). The thing that is still there is somewhat erratic behavior of the screen saver. Some times it will not start automatically. Some times after the display has been asleep for some time it will suddenly wake up without anyone being around. When this happens it will not go into screen saver mode nor will it go to sleep even after sever hours. (sleep is set to 20 minutes). The application seems to still need development work.
