I am 53 years, male and computer technician. I started with a 150 MHz Pentium, added a 166 Pentium, an extra 225 notebook and a 600 MHz notebook. But with the 2 GHz Pentium 4 speed is really great.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
There is no intelligent life outside the earth. But it is good to search a complete part of the sky. Who knows what we will discover? And organising such a large computing network is important.
SETI@home and Astropulse are funded by grants from the National Science Foundation, NASA, and donations from SETI@home volunteers. AstroPulse is funded in part by the NSF through grant AST-0307956.
