Five? FIVE?
Piker.
So far, I've processed 522, which is more than 97.5810f the users, and I
consider myself a total failure. There are *individuals* who've processed tens
of thousands of work units so far, not to mention those corporate LANs chugging
away. So far, nothing.
But if we do ever find 'em, they'd better be using Olympus equipment to take
pictures -- otherwise I say they're a boil on the butt of the Universe, and we
should nuke 'em 'til they glow and then shoot 'em in the dark. 8^>

P.S.: If you've got Windoze 2000 installed, don't bother. So far, my work
unit processing times have almost tripled in comparison to SETI@home on my
Win98SE machine. Don't ask me what the Hell Win2K's doing with all the rest of
my cycles...
