Computer system used:
Seti@Home project processing mostly done on an older ('02) IBM P4 2 gig server. Server bought for less than $100 as a replacement for an aging file server. Server located in the Finger Lakes region of New York State, USA.
User info:
Worked with/on various computers systems (mainframe to laptop), on and off, since 1979. Educated in electronics, computer programming and computer networking over a 20+ year period.
Retired from the computer field due to 3 strokes over the past few years. Still volunteer for non-profit organizations as their tech guy.
Trivia info:
My first email address was over 60 characters long due to the fact that the Internet was in its earliest experimental years and "email service" was just starting to be looked into by some experimental networking services.
Seen the start of the desktop style computers in the early 1980's. Saw the start of PC's with hard drives, when a large drive was 10 to 20 MB and standard RAM was under 256 KB (K not M).
First laptop had 16 MB of RAM and a 1 GB hard drive, running a pre-Windows 95 O/S, with a 12" 640x480 screen. Current Vista/home premium laptop is a 2 gHz dual-core processor with 3 gig ram, but have a 1 gig AMD processor laptop running XP/pro and a slow desktop (along with the server). |
