Also too in that room in the basement must have been the AEI download mirror (a single 19" rack machine that may go as "Einstein@Home server"), and possibly a few (desktop) machines to compile and test the applications for Linux, Mac and Windows. The core E@H servers (web-, database- and download-server) were located at UWM and managed by David Hammer.
I found images I took from the rack with the build machines in 2008 before some of these were moved to Hanover. I really don't know whether that rack looked the same already in 2006. Yes, at that time we had applications for Solaris/SPARC, IRIX/Mips and even Linux/DEC Alpha.
And I started my 21st year over at the Cern LHC a month ago.
I have been over there and here every day for all those years and only time I wasn't running work here and over there is if my power went out for a few hours.
Of course nothing is the same here or over at Cern as far as the projects and all the expensive wild machines we have been seeing since we started running GPU's
I don't run all or any of all the other Boinc projects but they are stuck with me here and the many alpha/beta's and publics over at Cern until one of them ever gives up .......of course if they ever find a way to make us old geezers live forever then we can keep running upgraded machines here from home
(I do still have a couple pc's I run off and on GPU's here that have been running since 2014)
