So, I acquired a barely used but still retired Power Mac G5 Quad 2.5 today. I wiped it, and restored from the Time Machine backup of my iMac G5.

Upon finishing, BOINC loaded up, and voila - 4 work units are running at once. So far it seems to be doing each unit in about 2 hours.

Seems fitting that after 10 years of plugging away with just one processor in one Mac, that the 2nd decade should begin this way. :)

I must now stop watching BOINC seti work units and return to sleeping.

if by chance an honest man like yourself were to make enemies, they would become my enemies. and then they will fear you.
