Is that his new 286 he's running?

... <---- this is meant to be me laughing, but this board has ridiculously cheap emoticons that give you the appearance that I'm actually expressing my constipational pains.

Heh. I just noticed that it took me 4 years to get to "Bad Apprentice" status.

Anyway, I was reminded to check my own SETI stats and:

Results Received 1623
Total CPU Time 1.663 years
Average CPU Time per work unit 8 hr 58 min 30.0 sec
Average results received per day 1.82

Not too shabby, I have one PC down, which goofs my stats. 1.6 YEARS of CPU time? Wow.

Reminds me of the last page of Carl Sagan's novel "Contact".

I see those Commodore 64's haven't totally faded away.

'taint bad results for having taken two years off. I'm back to crunching. One computer does a packet in 60 hours, one does it in ten, and the last does it in 3.4.
