On December 15, 2005, after 6 years of operation, Classic SETI@home sent out its last workunit. The current SETI@home project is up and running. Please join us! The new software uses the BOINC distributed computing platform, which enables your computer to work on other scientific endeavors like SETI@home if you wish. We could all use your CPU cycles! It's easy to switch over - just follow the instructions on the new SETI@home web site. We hope to see everyone there!

At the time of shutdown, the stats for this project will be frozen but will continue to be available on the web. It may take several weeks to clean everything up and syncronize the classic stats with the current SETI@home project.

Thanks to all original SETI@home participants for their tremendous dedication to the project. You made SETI@home into something of lasting significance.

A LOT of us got our DC start with SETI.

Lots of history wrapped up in that project.

1999 my first DC WUs with a 486 (or was it a P166?)
early arstechnica SETI bbs - before it became just another forum on Infopop
running the unix client on the HP big iron
some of the original DC stats sites - Zamboni et al
the start of big teams in DC


and lots more.....
