Just wanted to drop a line letting you all know I've abandoned the use of the OS X 3.0 graphical client as I watched in horror as it was just about to send a block to Seti (after 18-19 hours, much longer than ever before) and the program crashed without sending the block. It then gave the dialog about a program has unexpectedly quit. I re-ran the client and all it did is grab a new work unit instead of sending what apparently was lost in the crash. I'm back on the OS 9.04 side for the moment. I could use the text only OS X client, and I may yet - we'll see what Seti @ home does at this point. I'm very reluctant to wait another 12-19 hours to generate a block that fails.
AGP G4 400 with 128 megs of ram, OS X Public Beta, two 10 gig drives, etc.
Nothing special but my average block time on the OS 9 side with 2.04 is in the 5-7 hour range. 3.0 is proving to be a major pain! Oh well.
