	I guess it'll be a while before it's commissioned - it ought to have a couple weeks of soaking to find anything vulnerable before it goes live.

	Posted by Matt in Tech News... We're still trying to nail down the exact specs of the new science database server - Jeff has been doing some additional research regarding CPU upgrades - but that'll get purchased really really soon I swear. ____________ PROUD MEMBER OF Team Starfire World BOINC

	Well another week almost gone over $9000 in donations since last week and still NO Word from berkley on the Progress in getting a server that donations PAID FOR Guess it's par for the course Matt just posted a bit more in Technical News. It still does not get a firm date. However since Berkley still has not cashed the check I dropped off(I am informed it has made it through the SETI portion and into UCB proper) I suspect things will move a bit slowly. They are back at the drawing board on WHAT to order. But it looks like they should not have any more price gaps. ____________ Janice

	My estimate: order next week, take 1-3 weeks to assemble/ship, then 1 week of testing/OS/configuration before it's a useful system. So, to be safe, 3 to 4 weeks. I know we're anxious to see happy progress from this burst of generosity, and we certainly will before you know it. Still, if this kind of time line seems slow to you, let me point out that I have files in my home directory from unfinished projects (that I'd like to get wrapped up at some point) with last-modified date stamps from the 1990's. - Matt ____________ -- BOINC/SETI@home network/web/science/development person -- "Any idiot can have a good idea.
