Could they not have called it something other than BOINC?
I'm trying to move the classic account over to the BOINC account, still haven't got an activation code via email...

Mate I've had to ditch SETI altogether. I think I had only 12 units after having the screensaver for more than a year. My pattern of usage is such that I don't have much screensaver activity and I don't tend to leave the computer on unattended much because of other information on it that is quite sensitive. If I upgrade my computer or finish my project early, then I will check it all out again.
The hassles I have in trying to transfer SETI@home to BOINC (never were resolved) are not worth the effort to resolve so I have wiped the lot.
In fact lately I have come to the realisation that I have been expending quite a lot of time and effort in various things, and the 'cost to benefit' ratio is not in my favour or anybody else's. One of the things I am going to review is how I spend my time on line, both here and on other sites.
