It's not much, but it's something. And I've just noticed; I've been running SETI@Home in some form or another on a varying number of Macs for 13 years, today! Even more reason for celebration! So my hat's off and I raise a glass (well, mug of coffee, it's early) to the team; Dr. David P. Anderson, Dan Werthimer, Dr. Eric Korpela, Andrew Siemion, Jeff Cobb and by no means least the tireless Matt Lebofsky who seems to do most of the heavy lifting! ~W ID: 1311681 ·

Fly the flag my man! The extra kit with your existing 9 comp farm is gonna push the leccy bill up a bit :-)) It'd be wrong to not be concerned as all bar 1 they're at work; wouldn't it? :) Truth is, they're all machines that are on for other reasons and SETI@Home is merely a thing they do when they're bored. ~W ID: 1313511 ·

It looks like I'm going to miss it by a few thousand though. That's all right, I've decided it's even more intriguing to claim I hit a Mill the day after the World Ended... Now that I've hit a Mill in 10 weeks, I'll have to investigate reclaiming my old account from the early days. I'm positive it's my old account, but, remembering my e-mail address & password from 13 years ago? Ha Ha Ha.... ID: 1318610 ·

Unless I get an unflux of wingmen finishing and validating a fair chunk of my units that are waiting for them. That could put me over before the 1st.
