Like many people I originally participated in SETI Classic some years ago. Having gone through my career, various PCs etc with some employers allowing SETI and others not, I rejoined SETI a few years ago.

I was recently able to link my old Classic account (5 WU!) to my BOINC total and discovered I first participated on 27 July 1999. That's pretty early in SETI-terms.

How many of we early users are still around? Am I one of thousands from the first few months who is still contributing, or one of dozens?

Grateful for any feedback or advice -

Kind regards

Preston

In the Number Crunching form they have a 10 year club that has many of the users from 1999 in there.

I too am 1999, but I had 2 accounts, the 1999 had 0 Classic crunched while this one had several Classic crunched. Since I could only use one, I used the one that had credits.

hello,

i started in 2000, may,08. Would be cool, if it has been in 1999.

Greetings to the 1999. :-)

Hey, we’re almost in the same “class”: just one day apart!

You can see how the rest of your cohort is doing on some of the stats sites, for which you’ll find links on your Account page. For example, here you are in the class of 1999-07-27 on BOINCstats. Of the 348 users who signed up that day, it appears that about a hundred are still contributing.

I am 1999 class too. Just a few days early than you. :D Good to know some old classmates still alive.^-^

I just returned J980426 of Multax Systems Inc.
Still trying to learn the new functionality................

Hi Preston.

Yes there are a lot of us old timers around.

Stay happy and keep on crunching :)

Hi William Michael Johnson and company!
My footprints go back to as early as April 25,2000.
Nice to meet you here, folks!

---

Does September 1999 count as an early contributor?

---

I started in 2001. Not quite as early as you though. Was offline for awhile but back now.

Hi everyone -

Thank you for all your interesting feedback and kind information. I'm surprised and delighted to find that there are so many of us early users still active.

Very special thanks to Odysseus for the info you provided on my signup & relative results. I'm not brilliant at interrogating databases but it's fun to see your own data following my signup 10 years ago.

I'll keep running SETI as long as it's around or until someone (?) hears back from a little green man & we call it quits.....?

Let's just all carry on crunching.....!

Kind regards

Preston

I am still here, all the way from May, 1999

---

Since May 99, time goes fast...

Official Abuser of Boinc Buttons...
And no good credit hound!

I joined May 30, 1999. I dont remember off hand, but i think I had 139 WU's done with SETI CLASSIC.

*Ok, just checked, I actually had 358 Classic WU's done"

---

June of 1999 with 5108 classic units.

I think I'm tied for the earliest sign-up here.

Mine might be the first day that Seti@home opened to the public. I had been watching the project for a year or more while it was being developed, and I'm pretty sure I signed on as soon as it opened. If not the first day, then very soon afterwards.

I crunched some 2,290 WUs for SETI before switching to BOINC.

Want to find one of the largest known primes? Try PrimeGrid. Or help cure disease at WCG.

I'm still here, too. I'll keep plugging away. Things have changed a lot over the years. I still like the original graphic screensaver better than the one in use now.

---

Plus SETI Classic = 21,082 WUs

I just joined the 10-year-club 2 days ago!

And yes, I agree, the old screensaver was much better, but no screensaver is best for crunchtimes. ;)
