Personal background
Well a little about myself. I'm currently employed as a computer onsite technician. Mainly what I do is trouble shoot networking and workstation hardware and software problems.

I'm 27, i think, and i've lived on Long Island in New York my whole life. Around when I was 10 maybe 12 or so i received a Telescope for christmas. But I think i used it more to look through windows then to look at stars. I wasn't truely interested in how things work until a few years ago, when I could actually sit down and read through the internet all about what Nasa and the rest of the world was doing.

I heard about Seti@Home a few years ago thought it was an interesting idea. But i never did follow up on it. Recently I was browsing CNN's website reading up on their Space section. One of the links i followed had me stumble across this website. Not only am I interested in being apart of keeping SETI alive, I am very interested in the power that is possible by dishing out peices of a larger problem to a massive amount of workstations. I love to see statistics on these sorts of things. What better way to understand the massive undertaking then to actually be apart of it.

Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
My opions about Seti are all positive. It seems to me this is a small step in the right direction to understanding we arn't the center of the universe. Every does not rotate around us. These things were taken in strides. When we do finally have some sort of contact its going to be very interesting to see how the world reacts. Its going to be a very tough pill to swallow for many people. But it will happen, and people will adjust.
