I remember running Prime95 in 1997. I guess SETI@HOME just got press?
- arp242 3y agoI remember lots of my family running SETI@Home in the late 90s/early 00s, none of whom are in IT (but do tend to gravitate towards science/engineering). Also some Folding@Home at this time. I don't recall anyone running Prime95. SETI@Home may not have been the first of its type, but it certainly seemed to have been the first that became broadly known (and together with Folding@HOME, arguably only one of two that ever did this).
- Izkata 3y agoThe early version of SETI@Home you'd install the same as you installed a screensaver. It was trivially easy to get running, basically no setup.
