I noticed this in among the long list of steps in the Terminal window:

2005-02-13 02:17:36 [climateprediction.net] Message from server: A new version (4.19) of the BOINC core client is available from this project's web site.

---
Searching here led me to this but it seems only vaguely related:

http://members.dslextreme.com/~readerforum/forum_team/boinc.html

it does seem to be offering a "4.19" for my G3 processor -- but I don't know if "this project's web site" means Boinc, or Climate Prediction, and suspect I've just fallen into a maze of twisty little messages, all alike.

Anything I need to do about a new version (4.19)? I'm using OSX, the new 10.3.8 release; Powerbook G3 900 mhz aftermarket CPU, and 1024 mb of RAM. Slow, I know, but what the heck, it still runs ...

It is available from the 'model download' page on the left.

As to whether you should upgrade, you might like to read <a href="http://climateapps2.oucs.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/forum_thread.php?id=1722">this thread.</a>.
The 4.2x version will have more changes, and will probably come out next month.

OK, I'd already jumped ahead and dropped 4.19 in, and called it. I followed the link you posted there and didn't notice it's in the Linux thread when I posted my experience. Let me know if I should copy that question back. Basically comparing the lines recalculated, I see slightly different numbers, and wonder if that's OK.
