I have just given up on Seti. It is constantly locking up my computer I
was unable to  download a new WU for the last 3 days.
I will follow this newsgroup and when Boinc works out all its bugs I
might reconsider.
While I'm on this "Rant" let me ask, why the old Seti was discontinued.
It gave one a sense of competition ( basic human nature I think) With
every WU I watched my stats. I was at 96.165%; a long way from the
leaders but not bad for Starting Dec. 2000 with a small computer then
upgrading to 1/2 gig and finally 2 gig. Now you just get some, at least
to me, meaningless numbers.
Boinc is a Bureaucratic yaaaaaaaaaaaaaawn!

What? How does project expansion make it Bureaucratic?
If research projects never varied or expanded from the project's initial 
concept then 100 years from now they'd still be doing the same antiquated 
research with the same antiquated equipment.
