Team 6100 Update

Dan Knight - 2001.12.20

What's up with Team 6100? Why haven't we written much about it lately?

Mostly because it's depressing to watch Team Mac Observer, which we're part of, drop to 29th place in the team standings. We used to be in the Top 20.

Team 6100 is plugging along nicely. Even though I've sold two of my three 6100s, between us the entire team has completed 462 work units. We're averaging 106 hours, 22 minutes per unit over the last few months. We've put over 5-1/4 years of CPU time into SETI@home since we launched the team in May 2000.

So we're still alive and well and crunching work units, just not making a huge impact on the effort with our little old 6100s.
