SETI Reports: Sometimes Honest, sometimes Alzheimers

Somehow I'd like it cut in stone The Truth - everyplace on the main system it still says I'm a participant since March 2010! That's +19 years and a lot of electrons over the quantum jumps and back.

I didn't think it mattered to me until I suffered a systems crash that wiped out my SETI data on my machine.

In some places the data's right - under a different name, YAWinston Smith started with SETI@Home back on 26 May 1999, shortly after the news went out.

In some places it says I've completed 863,098 Cobblestones of new work units, + an apparently forgotten number of old-style work units, the most I could squeeze out of a 16 MHz '396, followed by a 486DX66 and my (please Murphy let it survive forever) T-41 IBM Thinkpad.) a P-2 bigcase, P4 smallchip then bigcase - that one ran alongside the 'P2-266 for a while, a P4-3 GHz Big Box that died apparently of jelousy when I built my current I7 Bigchip.

In some places the workunits continue to mount - from 0 to 121047 on my I7, ignoring the valiant decades of labor by its predecessors.

OK, where is the data stored in my Home Unit's programming (no, I do hardware fairly well, but I can't program my way out of a paper bag.

Please send a "personal" if you know the code well enough. and please be the real thing, just not someone who "knows the last line"<g to them who get it, but, by name and sig, you all should!>

seti/boinc data files are found under documents and settings/allusers(for me)/application data/BOINC for windows XP
Be aware that the application data folder and subfolders may still be hidden on your PC. you can unhide these folders by clicking Tools/folder options/view/ and click "show hidden files and folders" click OK and you should see the files

I assume this is what you are wanting
