I ran Seti for years until they switched to their BOINC client. They kept sending work units to the old SETI clients, but didn't count them for completed data, and I did that for about 6 months before I heard about the upgrade, so I just said screw it.

My first PC I ran it on took over 40 hours just to do one work unit. That was back in '99, though. It was a Pentium 200.

I've been doing this: http://folding.stanford.edu/

Sounds much more useful and is actually producing results. The only thing SETI has found is a laptop.

The real original array was about 20 miles from my house. They tore it all down to build a golf course. Glad they at least left the Perkins Observatory.

Ran it on my Pentium 90 originally. I dropped it when it went BOINC and all the weird stuff was happening with the software, I was getting crashes and work units weren't going through or something. Would take a couple of days per unit originally and on my last machine I could do a few a day.

Since I'm at work most of the time now, I could find a new use for this machine during the day. I'll check out some of the newer projects.
