Me too. My how the time fly's.

Give me a bit, but happy
13th Carlos.

Still here after all these years ....and computers, and homes, and jobs...but the interest remains.

Confidence: Remember that feeling you had just before you truely understood the situation?

I hope in 13 years I'll be right here with you guys.

That's a good hope, and I hope so, too. Chances are you'll be here when some of us have gone to our final reward. Then it'll be your turn to get the next 13 yearer's started.

They'll have RACs that can only be shown in engineering notation.

And Berkeley will still have a 100Mbit line into the office. <just kidding, nobody throw things; and put down that knife>

Nobody said this'll be quick or easy.

13 Years ago today

It is close enough, I'm celebrating my 13th. As a present to me I'm buying a Zotac
PCI GT430 to put into my old P4 box. It had not run for over a year but it fired up yesterday, so away we go.

Oh I missed mine last month *eats virtual party cake to celebrate belatedly*

1999... I think that might have been the year I upgraded from an i386 to one of those fabulous 486 chips! I couldn't let all those 100 Mhz CPU cycles go to waste. I didn't run 24/7 in those days either; dialed up an internet connection when a work unit was done -- uploaded the result and downloaded ONE new one, all at a blazing 9600 bps. No way to keep up with today's multiple-GPU crunchers but still chugging away on Seti, as well as a couple of other Boinc projects to carry through any Seti slack times.

Happy thirteenth, everyone!

I kind of wonder - will some of us still be crunching away at twenty years or even longer?

What kind of machines might we have then.

Will we look back at our original crunching rigs and laugh thinking that today most of our smartphones are as powerful as those original rigs.

Think about it!

Guess I forgot to check in when my turn came up.

I think it won't even be 20 years that we'll be running a hundred tasks at a time on a smartwatch, while it is streaming a movie to the wall screen and we're talking to others with it's video screen. But we'll still be griping about shorties and bandwidth!

Wow, I'm 8 days late! 13th year as of August 15th. Still chugging along!

---

I'm not AWOL, just reporting in six days late!! Don't plan to be leaving any time soon. 13 years, doesn't seem that long but, 6 machines/countless CPU upgrades/3 op systems/four printers and countless HDD replacements/upgrades.

HERE'S TO ANOTHER 13 YEARS!!!!

---

I don't buy computers, I build them!!

I'm late to this thread too. Proud that i have been here 13 years. Still want to build a new computer :(

---

I'm still here. FWIW I can't believe how far the technology has progressed.
For me it all started on a 486 system and now I have a high performance CPU and 2 video cards that do the same work in seconds.

When I started my user group, we had about 20 active users that would do the same work I now do on one computer.

---

Just happened to think about it: today is my 13th! I think it's the first time in a few years I've noted it on the day and not missed it by a few.
