Observers Closing on Team Nippon- 15 August 2000
It's been a long time since Team
Mac Observer (orange in graph) has moved up in the SETI@home club
team standings - but we're getting close to passing Team Nippon
after chasing them for about two months.  As
of Sunday evening, Team Nippon (blue) was in 15th place with 229,717
work units completed. Team Mac Observer was just barely behind at
229,665 units. By the time you read this, we may have closed that 52
unit gap. If not, it should happen very soon.
Beyond this, it's going to be a real uphill battle. At 14th place,
Forum Hardware.FR Team (green) has zipped past both Team Mac Observer
and Team Nippon. It's unlikely we'll ever catch them. Next up is SETI
Switzerland (black), which is averaging a few less work units per day
but has a commanding 18,500 unit lead. We're closing the gap at about
170 units per day, but that still puts us over 100 days away from
catching up. We could use some help closing that gap. If you'd like to help the
fastest growing Mac team, here's the information on joining Team
Mac Observer. Team Mac Observer has 678 members, including the "slow but steady"
Team 6100, which includes seven members
running unaccelerated Power Mac 6100s and has completed 109 units
since May 2. (We bill ourselves as the slowest SETI@home team, which
may be a bit of an exageration. But if you have an unaccelerated 6100
available for use, we'd love to have you join the team.)
