I had an account back in October or November of 1999 for the computer shop I worked in but not to long after I left in 2000, the boss killed it (and no, I had permission to run seti there - all of us techs ran it). So I had to create a new one in May of 2000, so even close to 10 years on that one. 05/2000 with 32,593 classic units Man, I loved those old days of crunching ... <sniff> feels like the glory days. I gotta fever and the only prescription is more cowbell. |

Joined May 6th, '99. Ran classic on a few computers back then, including a dual PIII that I still have running as a server at home today. I still have the setiathome directories with the last workunits I downloaded on Dec 8th, 2005. :) Just started up again recently and started with BOINC on a new Quad core machine. May need to see if I can get boinc back on that old dual-PIII. :) -L |

I joined September 1, 1999. Completed 5,218 Classic workunits before switching to BOINC (I clung to the old program right up until the bitter end). Closing in on 2,000,000 credits on BOINC. |

You know.... I bet there are still some old machines at my last work trying to get new work for classic...

June 13, 1999 with a litle time off for bad behavior. It amazes me how many members have been at it since the first year 1999. And looking at my history, 68,000+ classics and 12+mil current, how work continues to accumulate. |

I returned after being disillusioned by the roubles encountered in the last days of SETI Classic. Things have not changed !!!! But we do get more feed back nowadays, I do hope the present troubles are resolved soon. Joined in May 1999 Apart from a few really early birds in April, I think May 14th was the first day we were allowed to participate Keith Previously on Mac SE30 and PowerBook 1400 (with exchangeable drive modules for Floppy, CD and Zip100 Drives) ---- that brings back a few memories!!!! |

June 13, 1999 with a litle time off for bad behavior. I think those who joined early are the people who post. At least we had to read the boards back in the old days to know what was up with the update button for our dial up connections! |

I've been gathering dust since 15 May '99 ;) and which may explain my system is running so slow with three WUs setiathome_enhanced 6.03 21mr07af.12182.481.10.10.199_1 setiathome_enhanced 6.03 20fe07af.4142.72.16.10.62_1 setiathome_enhanced 6.03 20fe07af.4142.72.16.10.44_1 that have been downloading for more than one week. |

First began running SETI early on but progress with the project eventually confused my cluttered mind. Took some time to reconnect, but still here. |

Maybe not the oldest, or quite the slowest, but my 233MHz MMX is still crunching away since late 99, I think. Only puts out a few % of the P4 HT 3GHz next to it, but what the heck. I think I've put a couple of PSU in it due to dead fans, and maxed out RAM, but otherwise the same. I think SETI required 32 bit support, or NT4, and that was my impetus to upgrade and in the process dump AOL, which would not support 32bit OS'es, only Win95, which crashed every couple days! I HAD to do SETI. See ya', AOL. The long term stability of NT4 was amazing. Still is. Most recent WU = 308 hours...... Dave |
