hehe I belong to club yippee just thought i would revert to being child for a moment. but at least I am not the oldest in this nice club which is nice :)
I could never have imagined I would still be crunching all these years later

When I started it took me nearly 2 days to crunch one classic work I think it was on a P200 MMX with 32mb of RAM when SETI classic finished i was doing a work unit in 2.5hrs on this machine.

Ha! Look at all the old fogies! Just remember, ya'll be fossils before I will! Anyone want me to grind their food for them? Can I get you a walker? Too bad! 8-)

(Just playin' guys. Congrats!)


This here fossil 'pears to be in fine company.

Congrats to all 7+ year diehards!



A few weeks to go for 7 years but I got quite excited about food grinding as I qualify on age. (Hitler and I were contemporary Earth dwellers for about 3 weeks) Then I read "Just playin' guys".

Oh well 'Chew long and swallow'

Pretty good sense of humour, too :o) Sure gave me a good laugh.

Still haven't made it to the top of my class, though it won't be long now - June 9th, 1999 is my join date - wow, it's really been a long time. Must be getting old myself...(I'm 31 now).

Keep up the good work, people :o)

May 1999, age 70. :-)

One of my first systems was a Decstation 3100, 16mb ram, 450mb disk. Because of the need to page to disk, it took 14 days to complete a WU. Berkeley discontinued support of that group of systems, so I had to go to using PC's.

9 Jan 2000 Mamma convinced Pappa that Seti is a Good Thing...

Pappa is 55 years young, a bit worse for wear and tear, and a bit wiser LOL...

Happy New Year

(not to get off-topic) Happy New Year All . . .

Thank You Pappa - Glad to hear the Good News and Happy New Year to You & Yours . . .

> what i am 'pointing' out - is the 'discrepency' on the following Link / Page - which doesn't make any sense


The SETI@home Class of Feb 29 2000

see Number 2455 - that's me - notice the Results Depicted (none) as opposed to that which my Profile shows 1111 WU's

Hey, we’re doubly contemporary—weakly similar at least. ;)

I’ll be 45 in four weeks. (Can’t believe I can say that … any more than that it’s been almost 7.5 years since I installed S@h Classic on a 66-MHz Power Mac.)

I prefer the adjective experienced to old.

BTW, you can think of experience as "credit" earned outside of SETI@Home and the rest of BOINC.
If you're really stressed by the recent SETI or Einstein hiccups, you're lacking experience.

Happy New Year!!

I joined 22 May 1999, not the earliest one on this thread but maybe the oldest at 56. Still crazy after all these years.

18 May 1999 and sneaking up on 70. Still drive to fast.. and love of flying still there.

When we finally figure it all out, all the rules will change and we can start all over again.
