Damn, forgot that yesterday was my 16th Seti@Home anniversary...

I don't really worry about the specific day anymore & think of it more as "this year is my X year running SETI@home".

I was hoping to hit 150 million by today for my 16th year, but it looks like that isn't going to happen. I guess I'll just have to shoot for 200 million by next year!

Wow! I didn't even realize how long ago I first started crunching... 1 MAR 1999. I was without a comp allot of those years, but I'm back crunching again. Glad to be on board with you all!

16+ Years already? ;)

I remember back in the old days crunching away on Pentium 2's.
On a good Day each cruncher could process 4 WU's. :)

7510 Classic WU's in 4+ Years.

Today my new cruncher, 8 CPU tasks and 1 GPU can process around 300 WU's per Day.

Seems that 4 Years of crunching can now be done in less than a Month. :)

Let's see what we can do in 10 Years time :)

Still here since day one. I believe my first cruncher was a PII-233.

Or I should say "back again." I did take a few years off, and unplugged all of my PC's. I couldn't afford the electricity anymore.

Started up again a couple of days ago, just one PC now. Learning all over again how to optimize it. I had forgotten how OCD I can get. ;-)
That's so plausible, I can't believe it.
