Personal background
Hi out there.

I'm intrested in Science Fiction since many years and I think we are not alone in the Universe. My first SF comicbook was YOKO TSUNO in 1979/1980.

I work at a satellite earth station in germany, but at the information technology department. My personal interrests are Amateur Radio, Computing, WebDesign, TV-Series: Science Fiction, Fantasy and some others.
Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
1. Yes. I think it must be possible that there are other liveforms out there.

2. What an idea! Why not, but who would send it? Who would pay it? Who would deside what to send out? Do ET think like we are used to do? many questions, I know! At least a simple Morse code will be enough, if others could receive and understand it :-)

3. I'm enthusiastic about the idea of a big network of CPU's, nearly like a big cluster. And why should my CPU sleep, while I'm thinking about what key I have to press next ;-)
Suggestions - only one: you could build a GUI for Seti@Home with lower CPU usage. I run it on a Windows2000 in the background, because as screensaver it's to slow! Now I installed it on my Linux machine without the xsetiathome running all the time. That's pretty fast :-) But a "reduced" GUI, e.g. showing only the "Work done" as a percent bar would be fine.
