I'm guessing the data that we are all crunching with SETI Classic is
coming from the tapes currently listed on the server status page:

08 August 2003 (aa)
08 August 2003 (ab)
09 August 2003 (aa)
19 August 2003 (ab)
25 August 2003 (aa)
27 August 2003 (aa)
27 August 2003 (ab)
28 August 2003 (aa)
09 September 2003 (ab)

Here are the work units currently residing on my system:

09se03ab.22694.10224.765888.100
13ja04aa.11634.27249.804812.161
13ja04aa.11634.27249.804812.162
28au03aa.6008.1745.1015886.172

If I read that correctly, I have two work units from January of this year.

Looks like most of the Data is at least a year old, but true scientific
due process requires that the data be verified by being analysed multiple
times.

Is there any point in it anymore?  As long as SETI Classic is around I'll
continue crunching Once its dead, I'll make a decision regarding Boinic.
Until then I'm happily crunching.

There are a lot of worthwhile distributed computing projects. Some use
BOINC, others do not. If SETI@home is no longer to your taste, you can
still contribute to the advancement of human knowledge. Learning how
proteins fold would be a huge advancement for biology and medicine. Direct
drug discovery is obviously laudable, though it could just strengthen
PHARMA's members' stranglehold on health care... Climate modelling and
simulation could help us stave off the worst potential consequences of
global warming. Perhaps you'd just like to help find another Mersenne
prime. Etc.

Use Google to search for "Distributed Computing Projects" to get started
finding another project to which to contribute.
