I played with seti@home a few years ago, but i found it helped if you have a computer with broadband and a processor faster than a 233Mhz P2 [:-P]. Oh well.
I got back into it when i started working at a place with a reliable Internet connection. Currently the client (command-line 3.08, running off SetiQueue, with SetiLog) is running on twenty-three computers, most of the Intel Celeron ~1000Mhz variety. |

I find it very hard to believe [and I won't believe it; I suppose that's why i'm doing this...] that somewhere out there, in the billions of galaxies surrounding ours, there is not at least ~some~ intelligent life. Surely the chance of us turning out as the species we are is a number somewhere in the billions or trillions; but, ladies and gentleman, there are a lot of planets out there.
Who knows when we'll find out for sure, but i am sure that we will someday.
I find seti@home just a rewarding experience. You feel like you are doing something for mankind; something noble with the computer. Why should we just do word processing all the time? Wasn't collaboration the whole point of computers and the Internet in the first place? I urge anyone out there who isn't running it to give it a try. You never know what might happen...
