Team Mac Observer Moves To #21, Eyes Top 20!
Team Mac Observer, our SETI@home team, has moved to the #21 position in the Top 100 Club Teams. This happened as the project now boosts over 1 million participants, making our accomplishment of moving up in the rankings even more impressive! Better yet, we are only about 50 work units behind the #20 team which means that we should advance into the Top 20 in the next few days.

The Team currently has 257 members and has processed more than 16,480 work units. We have some other milestones as well. Anaconda, one of our Top 10 producers, has now donated over 2 years of CPU time, marking our first member to boast such an accomplishment. The Team has contributed more than 32 total CPU years, truly amazing.

Also, our Top 10 Fastest processors have really showed their stuff. All of the Top 10 Fastest members are reporting times of less than 10 hours for the first time.

Our newest company member, Senton, Inc. has moved up to the #5 producer. This took less than 3 weeks, showing how nice it must be to have 20 G3s at one's disposal.

Congratulations and thanks to all our members! If you would like to join, we have all the easy directions you need. We would certainly welcome your help in showing the world how good the Mac is at crunching numbers!
