a bit late to the party - May 14th, 1999. and another year on the horizon, assuming I and my Mac survive the solstice. 4 units crunching away as we speak! Sedge if by chance an honest man like yourself were to make enemies, they would become my enemies. and then they will fear you.

I remember when finishing a work unit was quite an accomplishment back in those days. Now we can knock out dozens a day. ID: 1314820 · |

I remember when finishing a work unit was quite an accomplishment back in those days. Now we can knock out dozens a day. Back then I was so excited when I had machines that would take less than 12 hours per work unit. So it would get 2 done per day. These days I have a machine that takes 3-4 hours per task, but it is running 24 at once. SETI@home classic workunits: 93,865 CPU time: 863,447 hours ID: 1314870 · |

There used to be a thread for this, but I can't find it. Made my 13 years back last month and just realised it. Wow, seems half a life time .... Those are my principles, and if you don't like them ... well, I have others. Groucho Marx 1895-1977 I also have mine, and if you don't like them ... tough, live with it.

Congrats Chris. I made 13 years in September, and didn't realise it until I saw this. It sure does seem a long time back. Happy Crunching, Graham GPUUG Officer   graham@gpuug.org ID: 1451791 · |

Come to think of it; there are threads for most years more than about the 5th anniversary. Some are labeled as clubs and some are labeled as anniversaries. Would it be feasible to sticky each of those? Plus SETI Classic = 21,082 WUs ID: 1451836 · |

I get an email every two weeks saying I'm banned, even though my RAC is less than 1. You're all nothing more than approbates of the old soviet union. You're all sick. Get a life. Send message Joined: 3 Apr 99 Posts: 2992 Credit: 105,890,036 RAC: 0

*packs away rolling pin* Anybody is welcome to post to his 'year group' thread when he/she is past his/her anniversary. If the thread happens to be locked, report it and ask for unlock. As the threads usually stay active enough for the first few months after creation there's no need to sticky them. If you can't seem to find the right thread you can of course open a new one, but a mod might move you to the right one after some digging. It would be courteous to report the post and ask the mods whether they can help. btw 13 years is sooo last year ;) A person who won't read has no advantage over one who can't read.
