The Milliardth processed work unit will probably be returned to SETI
with the next 2 weeks. My guess is on August 19 plus/minus 2 days.

Who is taking bets. I wager 50 Martian Dollars on August 19.

Sounds about right from my rough prediction a few days ago...



P.S.
To find out what a Milliard is see the 'British Numbering System' at

British typically use the the American Billion nowadays for the old
Milliard. (Thousand Million.)

I wouldn't really call the use of 'a milliard' an example of the 'British
Numbering System'. 10^9 is called 'a milliard' in about any Indogerman
language, except English, to my knowledge.
