	That's all it costs per year. Obviously more money would allow them to do more, such as hire additional help.

	Mark, my point is that science is getting a huge bang for the buck. Ahhh....I took it wrong then. Thought you were wondering about all the constant fundraising and requests for donations when that was 'all' it takes to keep it running. You are correct though. The amount of computing power contributed to Seti on their shoestring budget is indeed immense. ____________ ****** "Ask not, what your kitty can do for you. Ask what you can do for your kitty."

	Ah, poor Dull, people are laughing at you -- and you who focus always on mild comments about others all the time. I mean why would they do that. Concept of reap/sow might enter into the equation.

	Dull, Dull, pay attention, That thread seemingly got derailed when the railing turned out to be to blame Obama for making a choice between welfare fraud and NASA.
