Free, and just for doing searches we would otherwise do using other search engines. Not a bad deal for Seti, eh? "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster ID: 1154570 ·

With the number of members SETI@Home has, this has the potential to turn into quite a nice chunk of change toward the project. I do not fight fascists because I think I can win.

Went there via the GoodShop route, so SETI gets $1.50 of that. (GoodShop is the companion to GoodSearch. Check out their shopping sites - might be some that you already use. I also Added Amazon to my GoodShop Toolbar. Didn't want another toobar, but worked on my Internet Explorer skills a bit and learned how to hide it and bring it back with a few clicks each.

A painless way to generate incremental funds for Seti, and it is working. I have added 38 cents to the total of $176.68 since I started using Goodsearch a short while ago. Painless, no cost to you, just use it for your web searches. Eric's thread about Goodsearch. It works. Kitty approved fundraising for Seti. Meow! "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting."

Hopefully over the coming weeks I can generate a few cents towards SETI. After all, every little helps. : ) Tom ID: 1158605 ·

I've just noticed that the total raised this way is about $250, of which I've triggered $2. Keep those Goodsearches searches rolling, you know it makes S@H a happier place. (Anyone any idea how this $250 compares with the money spent on the RAM for the router??) Bob Smith Member of Seti PIPPS (Pluto is a Planet Protest Society) Somewhere in the (un)known Universe?
