Started on May 15, 1999. Got off the bus in June 2006, and just started again as of yesterday. Now have 4 machines at home running it, ranging from Pentium Dual core 2.0 to the new i5-750, with a Mac thrown in for good measure. |

Well, if I post to this thread I can look to the left to see when I joined. I believe it was in '99. I actually joined the original alpha version at an even earlier date. |

August 15th 1999 SETI@home classic workunits 869 SETI@home classic CPU time 30,909 hours Had 1 little machine crunching back then. Still chugging along, although there's obvious a lot more projects out there now. |

Started 19 May 1999 SETI@home classic workunits 13,200 (or more correctly TASKS) SETI@home classic CPU time 137,756 hrs Dropped out when SETI Classic stopped and there were significant outages - far worse than currently being endured. Returned over a year ago and also run CPDN on MacBookPro SETI runs on PPC Macs Tried BOINC Windows on VirtualPC but later decided to give that a miss Keith [PS. Seems the name of this thread has been altered and that is why I entered my name on here a 2nd time without realizing I was already entered!!!] |

I joined Seti@home on Sep 16, 1999 on a Pentium 2 machine and since then tried to replace my idle task on my machines with SETI and recently with other projects like World Community Grid or Climate Prediction. SETI@home classic workunits: 1,419 SETI@home classic CPU time: 12,088 hours |

I joined sometime in spring/summer '99 using a Compaq Deskpro 386s. can remember my old e-mail address but can't remember/find my old password. Think I crunched 100 wu's. |

Wasn't one of the earliest adopters but pretty early: November 10 2000. Happened to be doing a gig at a Dot.COM and a fellow put me on to it. Can't even remember who he was or if he's still out there now. Crunched contentedly (probably on a Dell Pentium and then a Pentium II likely) until the end of SETI Classic and then took a long break and returned just about a year ago now. SETI@home classic workunits 9,209 SETI@home classic CPU time 63,690 hours I'm here now until the fat ET sings. Regards, |

Hello. Started crunching on my overclocked Celeron 300. It was a beast, got that bad boy up to 500mhz. 128kb of cache HOLLAH! Then the cheating became rampant in SETI and there wasn't any point. Walked away for a good while. Now maybe BOINC has a handle on the cheaters (and maybe not). Mostly SETI seems not to give a **** about the crunchers, so oh well. |
