You are welcome, Siran!...I plan to join you at 1 million in 280 days or so. Greetings Dan, If you got that "280 days" value from BOINCstats, it is not realistic. I recently found out that BOINCstats reads what your RAC is from the update it gets. It then does some sort of calculations on it to reduce your REAL RAC and that is what BOINCstats says your real RAC is. No! I don't think so! If they get the stats update from SETI and it says my RAC is 2000, my RAC is 2000, not 1475 or some arbitrary number BOINCstats THINKS it is. If I were to go by what BOINCstats prediction was for my milestone, I would still be waiting. Last time I checked, they said I would not reach 1M until tomorrow. HAHA! Fooled them! Proved them WRONG! :D Dan, I suspect that you will be reaching 1M much sooner than 280 days. One last thing, BOINCstats lists what your real RAC was at the time of last update, plus their fictitious RAC. They predict from their fictitious RAC. Which reminds me, I still need to change all my stats images for our team projects on the website... Yes, I'm dumping BOINCstats. :) @Monday: Thanks! :) Keep on BOINCing...! :) ____________ CMDR Siran d'Vel'nahr XO USS Vre'kasht NCC-33187 Siran's website: [ ONLINE! ]

Greetings, Just so's you know: Credit per SETI account: 1,006,309 Credit per BOINCstats..: 1,001,320 (from last update) RAC per SETI account: 3426 RAC per BOINCstats..: 3209 (from last update) RAC per BOINCstats..: 1597 (what BOINCstats says my REAL RAC is) I fail to see the logic behind their "calculated" RAC value and calling it REAL. It is NOT real. They also predict that I won't reach 1,006,309 until sometime Friday. Bah hahahahahaha!
