Trying to track anything like that would be extremely difficult; it'd
require a much larger database and raise other issues--how to verify
that it's one system, making certain it's not a system running a queue
fed by other systems, what to do when the user gets a new system (make
them get another account, or block the old system), etc.

Some of the systems I've used to crunch units don't exist any more; most
were cheap used systems that have had motherboard swaps, and some haven't
been brought into service yet.

However, whether you're running one system or 26, at 95% or 99.967%, have
1000 completed units or 37,196, all of it contributes to science.
