Carolyn = replica (Nov 18 2010)

OH, I am fully prepared for the first crash and round of 'I told ya so's'.

I shall not be deterred if and when the first bomb drops.

It will. Nothing goes off as planned....and there must be a THOUSAND little tweaks to the OSs and settings that will not be anticipated.

I fully expect growing pains.

I hope that you all do realize that too, if it comes to pass.

Please anticipate them, and give the boyz the grace to recover when they do occur.

What's the phrase......IT guys will know.....

'Coming up from stone cold.....or something like that
Dead steel? Box of rocks? Picking up the grapefruit?

Whatever.......Carolyn is a fine name, but I shall nickname her Carrie.

I hope she does not live up to the moniker.

smilie right. I live in Ukraine and my credit card not acceptable. I don't know way how I can donate my love project SETI@Home.
And for all users - I make windows Sidebar gadget for BOINC. Download here http://www.myfavoritegadgets.info/
Try it. It is not a SPAM.

For those still saying PayPal or nothing, please understand SETI is a tiny fraction of the University of California at Berkeley. Some info on them below. No matter the noise here it won't be heard upstairs, because assemblymen and senators don't read these boards. If PayPal is you only option please send uli the cash donation specialist a Private Message. She has ways outside official channels, but you do have to trust her.

If you really want to have PayPal, you will need to petition the Legislature of the State of California to enact laws that permit the Regents of the University of California to accept PayPal. Otherwise it can't happen. Yes, it really is in the laws of California that prevent it.

"Cold Iron" is the term we used on the boats.
Start-up from Cold Iron is a slow, careful procedure that normally takes several hours. Heat up and pressurize too fast, you risk a thermal stress crack or pipe rupture - very messy, ruin your whole day.

Like you, I have faith that the guys will bring Oscar and Carolyn up with all deliberate speed, but also as carefully as they need to, watching for problems as they go.

And when they are ready for full duty, we will be ready and waiting for the fun to begin again.

Thanks Gary. Yes I have other avenues available and those will be addressed via a PM to me. You wish to donate, I will find a way.

If the Admins at Seti trust me and think you all can too.

:) That is one way. Just not via moi. At least not until I have been given the ok.
Don't want to step on the toes of Berkeley.

Neat thoughts, I think I would be able to route Gold coins, stamps, etc pp in the right direction.
