Dutchmen Sneak Past Team Mac
Observer- 12 April 2000 - Dan Knight
Out of nowhere, those sneaky Dutchmen* on the
SETI@Netherlands team have edged past Team
Mac Observer. As the SETI
Checker chart below shows, those number-crunching
Dutchmen (the black line) came out of nowhere - 45th place
on March 24 - to edge past Team Mac Observer (orange) by
less than 100 work units on April 11.  That's twice in one week we've been knocked down a level.
Between losing our #1 member (see Team
Mac Observer Dealt Major Setback) and the surprise
appearance of SETI@Netherlands in the top 20, we could use
some more help. If you'd like to help Team Mac Observer move
up in the rankings, see SETI@home: Join
a Team. (Except for Team Mac Addict, all the Mac teams
in the top 50 have been pushed back a step or two over the
past week.) 
- * Nothing personal. My parents and grandparents left
the Netherlands for Canada in 1950, so my roots are about
as Dutch as can be.
