	Yes, Thank You Francis, and all the others who have kept this drive going like some Energizer Bunny from outer space. And of course, thanks to Uli too, for keeping track of it all. Many kitty kisses to you all. My wildest expectations have been far exceeded. I never thought for a minute that this could come to pass. I really did not. Past donation performance just did not support my hopes. And you have all proved me wrong. What is the old addage? Expect the best, but prepare for the worst. I was prepared for a blunt refusal of most to participate...... OMG, was I wrong. You have all delighted me soooooooo much. And it takes a lot for a 52 year old kittyman to be delighted these days. Thank you again. Meow meow meow. ____________ ****** "Ask not, what your kitty can do for you. Ask what you can do for your kitty." As it is kitten, so shall it be done.

	What will they do with all that Money even the Servers are paid? More harddrives, more memory, a new switch or router? There's many things they need but couldn't afford before. I'm sure it will all go to a good purpose. And I forgot to add thank you to all the people that made this possible. Both the large gifts and the small and even those that could only wish us well. ____________ PROUD MEMBER OF Team Starfire World BOINC

	From what I understood The Hi capacity cable is already up the hill Seti is only being allowed part of it and that the routers Seti has are not capable of more That's too bad, Otherwise I'd think of upgrading to faster routers, But since Seti is only allowed a small part of the total capacity, then why bother. ____________ BSG Anthem My Facebook page

	From what I understood the Hi capacity cable is already up the hill Seti is only being allowed part of it That wouldn't surprise me. UCB seems to see Seti as a neccessary nuisance. If I won the lottery I'd set them up in a private purpose built lab and double their salaries. ____________ Damsel Rescuer, Kitty Patron, Raccoon Friend, Uli Fan, Julie Supporter, ES99 Admirer, PETA Member, 1st Childhood

	What else is up the hill to soak up so much capacity? Seti@home is inside the Space Science Lab. And by far the largest use of bandwidth. An OC-3 is 3<typo edit> T3's, roughly 28X1.544MBPS(math edit)x3. Tack on a 100M router, and they are pretty full. ( I am guessing also the reason they never hit 100MBPS ) So OC12 or OC-48 should unclog the congestion completely (new optical hardware at least, depending on condition of existing fiber prehaps new fiber as well) They keep trying to get more. In the mean time, we need to be as gentle as we can on it. Not something we are very good at. But the servers, we can and are helping with. They do not last forever. ____________ Janice
