Must have been an error in the stats lookup or something.  I hit 500 in
April or so and am at 750 now (about 2.5 workunits per day).  Judging your
increasing numbers I'd say you are actually out-processing me by about 2X
right now.

I agree.  Who didn't want to be an astronomer when they were a kid?  Who
doesn't watch the X-Files (or at least did before they got stupid)?  Goto
http://setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu to find out more.  Our group is named
"Colorado State Rams".

And for the real geeks among us check out
http://www.krasnoconv.com/index.html

They are a Ukranian company that takes military surplus junk and makes
civilian junk out of it.  This is a PCI board that takes up to 6
processors, each capable of independently crunching a SETI@home workunit.
The board runs some trimmed down version of Linux onboard and crunches
workunits using the original software from Berkeley.  The processors are
from the guidance system of old (presumably) cruise missles.  Cool, eh?

I signed up to be a beta tester, but rumor on Usenet is that they cannot
fulfill their sales demands so they likely aren't giving away free boards
to freeloaders, er, I mean beta-testers.
