Joined Oct 1999 and crunched over 10,000, over 61,000 hrs, classic workunits way back when things by todays standards were going at a snails pace.

For some mystical reason i'm put in class of April 3 1999
Don't know why but it's crowded (24143)http://nl.boincstats.com/stats/user_stats.php?pr=sah&date=923097600&st=0#1
While still in place one, it won't be long before I will be past by some people with big bucks who can spend lots of money on fast GPU-cards.

In fact, I have to wait a few months to join the 'club-of-ten-plus' because my real class is this;

I joined in May 2001. While a couple of years after SETI's start, I clearly remember how unique and cool the screensaver was to show-off to my friends at the time.

WE may be old, but who is running the oldest machine or rather the same machine for the longest period? Not directly verifiable because a single computer can be issued a new Computer ID when things go wrong.

Since May 2006 & still running

I ran classic SETI@Home till the server would not accept completed work back!

SETI@home since 1999
"Set it, and Forget it!"

The oldest one I still have running is: Created 23 Jun 2004 3:31:48 UTC. Its last return was on February 4th. It is attached to about 35 projects...

The opposite is also possible. Because I have BOINC installed on a data drive and not the boot drive. This data drive, actually a cloned clone of the original, had BOINC installed on it in Jan 2005, but the cpu wasn't released for sale until 2007.
edit] Just looked and in the Seti folder the is a copy of "setiathome_win_3_08.exe"

Seems I joined 29 May 1999 , that's a pretty long time ago.
59 Classic workunits (I had some other account as well, but that's gone with the wind) and I've been crunching on and off for the lastest 11 years and are going to dedicate a lot more time this year for seti.

My 200 MHz. Pentium MMX host has been crunching S@H since October 1999, I think there was an earlier starter still at work mentioned in the 10 year club thread.

My Celeron 400 MMX made it's own personal 10-year milestone - I posted evidence that it started on 7 July 1999 - but I've retired it now. Only problem was a failed fan - I could fix it up again if we need it.

IIRC, it's set up as Win 98SE dual-booting with WfW 3.11

I'm still here.. *waving*
Though silently now in the background..
But i'll be back with a vengeance later on ... ;)

Kind regards Vyper

I started crunching the day after Richard with my PII 350Mhz, it was soon overclocked to 392Mhz, it had Win98SE in those days, not got any files from it now through,
tried Seti Classic on Win 2K, but it was about an hour slower per wu, so stuck with W98SE, later i got myself a Slocket, and fitted a FC-PGA Pentium 3, then installed WinXP,
It got attached to Boinc Beta early on, and Seti on 25 Jun 2004 20:52:24 UTC, and Seti Beta on 29 May 2006 22:33:44 UTC, it crunched on both Boinc and Seti Classic until Classic ended,
then just on Boinc, now it only crunches a couple of days a month,
my K6-2 500 was also crunching Seti Classic (with a Pentium 200MMX first), not nearly as fast as the PII, it joined Boinc on 22 Dec 2005 9:59:07 UTC,
but was far too slow and unstable to bother running it much, but for kicks over christmas, i updated Boinc, re-optimised it, and it did a couple of wu's very slowly,
it took a couple of days just to do a Shortie.

Claggy

I had no recollection that May 18 was so early in Seti's existence. I joined when I saw a reference to it over on the (then free) Motley Fool boards. I remember being SO excited when a WU would finish. Nowadays...not quite so exciting!

I like that trick you used to display the text of the .gif address. Nice one!

June 1999 for my 0ld P-MMx P55. It lost its 1996 battery this last week. A replacement is on its the way. (^8

The one I started with in July 1999 has recently died (it is NOT worth replacing the MB and HD and ... to get it running again - just bought an entirely new one).

May 16 1999 the nightly news ran a spot about Seti at home. Signed up that night and have been crunching ever since. Out of 1710 users still listed from that date I'm # 2 in the sign up date and trying to get my two machines to make up a 320,000 credit deficit to get to number 1.

I've been a member since 13 June 2002!

Gundolf:

Thank you very much. I will try that link in my signature starting with this post. :) (And I shall hope that I copied it all correctly!)

I joined 3 Aug 2000 and crunched 4248 Classic WUs before switching to BOINC.
