Mac Observers Gaining on Gnomes Again- 9 May 2000
On April 26, Team Lockergnome zipped
past Team Mac Observer (TMO) with the addition of 10,977 work units
in a single day. It's been a long game of catch-up, but the Mac
Observers are closing on Team Lockergnome.  As
of Monday, May 8, we were behind by only 1,228 units. At our current
work rate, we should catch the Gnomes sometime on Friday.
Team Mac Observer grew to 608 members over the weekend, and
Team 6100 (a small, slow part of TMO) now
has four members and has completed 3 units in less than a week. Not
bad for six-year-old technology! But we really need more help to move us past Team Lockergnome -
and then beyond SETI@Home Poland. As the SETI
Checker chart above shows, Team
Mac Observer (orange) has been gaining consistently on Team
Lockergnome (blue). With the gnomes averaging 460 units per day and
TMO averaging 744 units per day, we will catch up soon. But the more members we have crunching work units, the sooner that
will happen. And then on to SETI@Home Poland (green), which is barely
ahead of Team Lockergnome. If you'd like to help the fastest growing Mac team, join Team
Mac Observer as over 100 others have done in the past two weeks.
5/9/00: Team Mac Observer is just 462 units behind Team
Lockergnome based on today's
statistics. And SETI@Home Poland only had a lead of 1,254 units.
Special thanks to the five new people who joined Team Mac Observer
yesterday. 5/10/00: We're only 256 units behind, according to the morning
update. On the SETI Checker graph, you can't tell which team is
ahead.
