My date was May 20, 1999, I'm a lot older and not sure how much wiser... Just started again with SETI October 27 and finally found my old account. It's nice to be able to reclaim credit from the old one.

Congrats to all!

Welcome to the Forums!

Thanks! The link was a trip down memory lane... :o)

Yiiiiiipppppiiiieeee.

The old days.....
My first workunit back in 1999 was crunched on a Sun Ultra 1, 200 MHz UltraSparc, Solaris 2.6.

Good to see a lot of "old timers" here... :)

Wow, I'm a newbie in these forums, and also am glad to know there are people so committed. It's been almost three months since I got to this club, and am glad to see it so concurred. Cheers to all!

I made it.
Started December 25, 1999 killing time between bouts of Christmas Day feasting.

I also managed to make the 1,000,000 SETI BOINC credit mark today.

A happy Christmas muncher and cruncher.

Nice work! That first million mark sure feels good. I hope to be joining the 8 year club myself next July.

WoW, 5.5 more Months and its Nine years!

8 years of SETI! My rig back then was a P200MMX 64MB. :)

And hello from another 8 yr. cruncher. 9 Jan 2000 was my debut.

I don't remember whether I was using my old Mac II (System 7) or iMac (OS 9.2) then. Average of 30 hr/wu.

It's been almost 8 1/2 years to the day that I started crunching for S@H, and I have stayed at it ever since. My first machine was a Mac PowerBook 1400c with a 266 MHz NewerTech PPC G3 CPU upgrade and 64 MB of RAM, running Mac OS 8.6. IIRC, it took about 24h to complete one WU back then.

Currently, I maintain a respectable little farm, and my fastest rig turns in ~200 WUs a day. What a difference in performance! The faster the silicon, the more fun S@H becomes, IMO.

My sincere thanks to the S@H team and the community at large - it's been a fun ride! I'm hoping the project will stay around for a long time...

Wishing everyone happy crunching and all the best in 2008! :)

Almost time to start the 9 Year Club thread. :)

Having just joined, I am finding this a interesting use for my PC. I hope we hear something before I hit the 9 year mark. I must commend all you folks for sticking with a project for this long.

i ended SETI Classic with 1111 Work Units - so that places mi at No. 204 - rather than 2455 . . . DOH!

I don't often say much, as of the 9th of Jan passed the 8 year mark. Started in a Intel P-200 and through a couple AMD K6-II's.

I think one of the most things that has kept me going is "getting involved with Seti." By getting involved I have met some wonderful people over the years.

Here is to the success of the Seti and Astropulse projects.

Thank You, Everyone that has become involved.

It must have been the iMac. I’m pretty sure there was never a 68k version of S@h—and you wouldn’t get times like that with any PPC older than a G3. My Power Mac 7100s, for example, (with PPC 601 CPUs) would take five or six days per WU. According to MacTracker, Mac OS 9.2 wasn’t released until 2001, but v9.0 came out a couple of years earlier.
