	I was about ready to stop Seti crunching and move on to more reliable BOINC projects but this drive made me feel that things can and will get better. So I figured I might as well donate something to help it along. Not much but hopefully it helps. Thank you for your gift of $25.00 via Visa on 10/10/2010. Your gift was assigned to the following areas: SETI@home - $25.00 Your confirmation number is: 63565

	Not sure if this zero-cost solution has been considered before ... It seems clear that many Teams are associated with commercial interests. Many commercial interests are simply testbeds and are given hardware for evaluation. Ergo there must be much "stuff" out there that is:- a) free b) cutting-edge c) hardly used d) discarded after the next magazine issue etc, etc Put another way ... heads-up to reality to prevent people spending money unnecessarily.

Ray (Just trying to put things into perpective.) The problem is that all donations need to be approved by Berkeley first, and they take their cut of all donations, including the ones given by everyone here. Far easier to come up with the cold, hard cash than it is to dance with the red tape at the University.

The technical details indicate that "The certificate expired on 10/11/2010 02:59 AM." (today). Probably the staff of berkeley.edu has not renewed the certificate in time.
