All things being equal, when is the length of SETI work units going to be
doubled (to 648k)?
As time passes there are more and more 'fast' (1 GHz +) computers.
Also, the doubling of work unit size cuts the number of work units in

Takes a stab at the numbers, with a result of low, but possible,

Does Boinc performs same as the seti ran at the command line ? Does Boinc
has a command line mode ? I don't like all the screen saver stuff is there a

Two quick questions
Today when I try and go to the seti@home home page I just get a page

BOINC/SETI on a couple of PCs, before seti classic goes the way of all
