.012 years ago I had my 6 year anniversarry :D Yes, official launch of seti@home was may 17 1999 - I found the site practically by accident earlier, and it said that it was in beta - so I waited, and waited, and it seemed to be forever that I waited. Then on the 15th I couldn't wait any longer and I thought "ohh well, it's beta, but I can't wait any longe" and then I joined. Good call, actually, as not only it worked just fine, but the launch came two days later - and with my slow machine I didn't feel much of the initial troubles right after the launch ;)

I didn't realize I joined on the official launch Day, I originally joined Art Bells Team. I am trying to remember how long it took to crunch my first WU. It was on a P2 300mhz. I loved the screen saver and everytime there was a spike, My wife at the time would jump up and down is that ET! jeeze....

I heard about it through an announcement sent out in a newsletter I had signed up for relating to outer space (can't even remember what newsletter it was at this point, lucky I can remember what I did yesterday most of the time these days). I read the newsletter and the project sounded interesting so immediately went out and signed up for S@H. I do remember it taking about 102 hours or so to process a single WU back then on my old 100 mhz computer which is now resting in peace in Silicon Heaven. |

It was from No.48 to No.29 (less than 50 metres)in the same road and I had to change ISP if I wanted to stay broadband. Below is copy from Seti Classic stats.
