	I joined in September of 2000 and crunched that until they started the first Boinc Beta then I switched to that until Boinc went public and there were no more WUs for beta I continued to crunch classic for a while on my wife's computer but before Classic closed down I switched to Boinc. I posted very little in the classic boards mainly when I had a problem with the software. 1,511 Work units 18,229 hours I ran most of classic on an AMD K6-2 500 with 32MB of ram. UNBELIEVABLE Eagle. Ya beat me by ONE WU. Joined 5th Sept 2004. 1,510 WU's. 6,597 hours. I crunched on an AMD 800 KHz PC and an AMD 1.0 MHz PC and had temperature problems. Over a period of approx. one month the CPU temps would rise from 68 to 78 Deg C and the CPU's would start to cut back on thermal protection so I had to replace the thermal grease between the CPU's and the heat sinks. When my wife died I stopped crunching and switched off; I was at around 1490 WU's and didn't collect my 1500 WU certificate. The rest were pending credits that were later verified. ____________ Join the #1 UAE Team.

	I joined the project in '99, at this time I was registered with an other profile name (Cereal_Killer) but I lost access to my "space.com" mail address. So, I started a new profile with my real name in '04, and a new team in '08. Now, I have a brand new iMac C2D at 3,06 Ghz (OS X) and an old PC P3 at 930 Mhz (Win2K) running exclusively S@H 24/7. ____________ Universe is not an awful waste of space.

	I first joined in '01 after being introduced by the Librarian at school, she ran Classic on the Library's 3 computers. After only crunching 7 WUs in quite a long time i lost interest until '04 when i stumbled across an article about S@h in New Scientist. Came back and rejoined, this time with a faster 1.7Ghz PC, though i had to create a new account since i'd long since changed my email address and couldn't remember the password for my old account. Four years later and still going. ____________ Chemists have all the solutions! Skype me: simonator### (one zero one)
