They give you some random password, so you wont remember it.

With K and I both having new computers, and 359 already over 300, we are getting them done now. I think even Elim is back at it. I'l have to look again to be sure.

Heh... is TNO even an active place anymore? Why not rename it for Flare instead?
Is it possible to switch groups? Maybe I should join up... I'd instantly have all you guys blown away.

Actually, I'd eventually catch up to you, since my computer completes a work unit in 2/3rds the time it takes yours.

Maybe... but by that time, I'll have bought a new computer, and I'm sure that whatever processor chip ends up being called the G5 will end up smoking yours away... (Kidding, kidding!)

Heh... that's because I took a year's break. (Not trying to make childish competition here, just explaining. ) When I bought my iBook in November 2001, I stopped using screen savers, because a laptop needs them even less than a desktop model. I thought about running it in the background on occasion, but it's always too much of a bother to remember to turn it on. Now, I've got the Unix client running, without any GUI save for a tiny menu icon that lets me turn it on and off, and also set the "nice" level for background processing (meaning priority over other programs).

kidding, of course. (for what it's worth, I've also had at least a year-long break)
And MM, I'm on your side. This was primarily accomplished using two G4s. It's too bad it won't incorporate into the OSX screen-saver program.

Yeah, that's been my biggest complaint -- and actually was part of the reason why I wasn't using it for a while. Since I'm at college, I wanted the ability to use the password protection on the screensaver, to complement the other OS X security features. SETI's recommendation is to run two screensavers at the same time.
Anyway, I'm using the command-line client now, along with a very handy utility called SETI Menu to control it. PM me if you'd like some pointers for setting it up.
