My name is Dean Shepherd. I'm 48 years old and I live in a village near Bristol in the UK. I work in Locsl Government in the Legal Division.
I use a PowerMac 6500/300 operating on MacOS 9.1 for my day to day computing. It is a bit slow by today's standards. The 6500/300 took many months to complete a task (actually over 96 hours per unit).
Because BOINC is OS X only, I lost my last upload to Seti. I have now borrowed temporarily one of my Mum's Macs.
This has been written on an eMac. The BOINC software and the latest SETI software has only been installed a few hours and I'm already nealy 30 per cent through a unit!
